It's so hard to believe that I never read this book as a child. I actually heard about it from my sister-in-law who said it was her favorite book as a child and, after reading it to both my children (8 years old and 4 1/2 years old), I can see why! This is a charming tale of how a small-town housepainter and his family achieved fame through their amazing performing penguins. It all started when Mr. Popper received a penguin in the mail and the population increased from then on! Amusing and heartwarming all at once! |

I have read this book aloud to my twins over the last 4 days, it was a very quick read and they really enjoyed the trials and tribulations of the penguins. Richard Atwater describes a wholesome tale of a man who dreams of a life of travel he's never been able to afford. A painter by trade, Mr. Popper earned a modest income and when the winter would come, he and Mrs. Popper would have to budget their money to last through the winter providing for their two children Janie and Bill. When Mr. Popper's letter is received by an esteemed Admiral in the Antarctic, the Admiral promises a surprise is on its way, soon a penguin arrives. Mr. Popper seems to come alive as the antics of owning a penguin are described in great detail bringing you ringside to all the action. As the penguin meets another penguin and gives birth to 10 other penguins, Mr. Popper decides they should be "Poppers Performing Penguins" and they are an instant hit for Oregon to Maine, allowing Mr. Popper the life of travel he always dreamed of. Truly an inspiring and uplifting tale. |

Within the pages of a book, you can become lost in a world of adventure, be a princess locked in a tower, or in this case, exceed you wildest dreams. The written word is a powerful tool. It can transport you into unknown territory while still in the safety of your own home. Mr. Popper's Penguins is a feast for the imagination. Everyone, young and old, can enjoy a fictional story of an average man with a dream of a grander life. Dreams are the fuel that inspires the common man to strive for what his heart desires. The best part of this story is that fact that children, as well as adults, can connect with an imaginative story such as this. The tale teaches you that no matter how big of a dream you possess, if you pursue it, any dream can become a reality.
Mr. Popper's Penguins is filled with delightfully humorous antics. No one will be able to get enough of these mischievous, not to mention, adorable penguins. The book will keep you hooked until the very end. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a light-hearted story of someone finally able to experience his fantasy. Mr. Popper's Penguin's is a book that will be passed down from generation to generation, not only in my family, but in families all over the world for years to come.
