The imagined book cover challenge ‘25

Mary Poppins book illustrations

Mary Poppins book challenge: Four Brown Bears, each wearing a peaked cap and coats with brass buttons were trundling trolleys of food.

Mary Poppins book challenge: On this night the Red Cow stood up suddenly and began to dance. She danced wildly and beautifully and in perfect time, though she had no music to go by.

Mary Poppins book challenge: Admiral Boom’s house was built exactly like a ship, it had ship’s funnels instead of chimneys and on the roof was a gilt weathercock shaped like a telescope.

Mary Poppins book challenge: Mr. Wigg began to laugh again loudly, and as he laughed he went bouncing and bobbing about in the air, with the newspaper rattling in his hand and his spectacles half on and half off.

Mary Poppins book challenge: Mary Poppins took the sparkling gingerbread stars from her basket and glued them to the sky, where they twinkled furiously, sending out rays of golden light.

Mary Poppins book challenge: The merry-go-round was just slowing down and as they approached it they leapt upon it, Mart Poppins on a black horse and Bert, the Match Man on a grey horse.

Mary Poppins book challenge: Mary Poppins was in the air now, floating away over the cherry trees and the roofs of the houses, holding tightly to the umbrella with one hand and to the carpet bag with the other.
