Unlike Disney, Travers doesn't try to reconcile the kids to their parents. As far as she's concerned, they inhabit two different worlds, and shouldn't be encourged to mix them. And you know what? She's right. The Red Cow: A self-described 'model cow' whom Mary Poppins remembers as a good friend of her mother. A fallen star once became caught on her horn, causing her to dance uncontrollably until in desperation she jumped over the moon. Unexpectedly, she finds she misses the happy feeling that dancing gave her, and on the advice of Mary Poppins's mother, she decides to search for another star. In Mary Poppins, Michael sees the Red Cow walking down Cherry Tree Lane in search of a star, leading Mary Poppins to tell her story to the children. Burness, Edwina; Griswold, Jerry (Winter 1982). "P. L. Travers, The Art of Fiction". The Paris Review. Winter 1982 (63). Mary Poppins is given the charge to take care of five Banks children where she is portrayed as no nonsense and tough nanny who uses extra ordinary measure to instill discipline to the kids. She is constantly scolding the children if they point out her magical powers but is always at ease when around her friends who include Nellie-Rubina, Mrs. Corry and Bert the Matchman. The story portrays Mary as someone with lots of exaggerated self-confidence and is always admiring herself in the mirror or any other reflection.

The later five books recount previously unrecorded adventures from her original three visits. As P. L. Travers explains in her introduction to Mary Poppins in the Park, "She cannot forever arrive and depart." I found this book dark sometimes because i personaly think that whenever Mary Poppins gets cross then she gets scary. I did not like her attitiude and i did not like her personally. She was no swet and beautiful Julie Andrews peoples in fact she was called ugly multiple times… Yes the movie version of Mary Poppins was firm but as she clearly stated she never became cross... P.L. Travers version became extremly cross as i have already mentioned multiple times.Nellie-Rubina and Uncle Dodger: Two human-sized wooden dolls with flat faces. They run a "conversation shop" that is shaped like Noah's Ark. In the stage musical Nellie's conversation shop does appear, but is run instead by Mrs. Corry. Albert Wigg: Mary's uncle, presumably her mother's brother; a large round bald man with a jovial personality. If his birthday falls on a Friday, he comes so full of 'laughing gas' that he floats up in the air. He appears in the 1964 film as Uncle Albert, played by Ed Wynn, and sings the song " I Love to Laugh" with Bert. He is absent from the musical. When their new nanny, Mary Poppins, arrives on a gust of the East Wind, greets their mother, and slides up the banister, Jane and Michael’s lives are turned magically upside down.
