* StrictlyFormula: The first three books each follow a format in which Mary Poppins swoops into Cherry Tree Lane, takes the Banks children on some strange adventures, introduces them to one of her quirky relatives, tells them a fable, teaches them not to be rude, then swoops ''out'' of Cherry Tree Lane. The next book does not include any chapters about Mary Poppins reuniting with or abandoning the Banks family, and the seventh and eighth books then decrease the number of adventures.
