Mr. Popper's penguins

Mr. poppers Penguins is a very funny book. If you read it you would be laughing hard. When I read it every time I turned a page it kept on getting better and better. It starts out with Mr. Popper reading a newspaper and then in the middle of the book Mr. Popper gets a penguin and the penguin says gook all the time and they thought it was cook so they named him captin cook and at the end Mr. Popper gets to go to the north pole but not the south pole. His real dream was to go to the south pole but didn't. If you asked me What ages should read this book it would be all ages.

I rated this book 4 stars was because it wasn't the totally best but was very close to being the best.

Penguins R' Us

Mr. Popper's Penguins is a humorous book I read. The author's of the book are Richard and Flourence Atwater. Illustrator Robert Lawson and Publisher Brown Little & Co. The Atwater's have also written five other award winning books. Mr. Popper's Penguins in an unusual but funny book that I would recommend to anyone.

Mr. Popper's starts off with him reading his monthly South Pole magazine, and decides to write to one of the people studying the South Pole. When the explorer writes back he sends a package. This package is no ordinary package though. The main point of the story is about a guy named Mr. Popper's who trains his band of penguins to star in Vaudeville Tour.

Mr. Popper's is a house painter that comes up with some crazy designs. But his real interest is in the South Pole and all the animals on it. Captain Cook is basically the main character. He is the head of all the penguins but is not that bright. All the rest of Mr. Popper's Penguins are like couples. They just walk in a little line down the street next to each other. So my opinion is that the characters are perfect for this kind of story.

The different settings in this book are very creative. The magazine that Mr. Popper got was very detailed. The South Pole kind of looked kind of like the Hawaii version of the South Pole. The houses on the block looked realistic. This is won fiction fantasy book you might want to get.

Mr. Popper's Penguins is far most the best fiction fantasy book ever. The
characters, the setting and the story lines were great. It is an unbelievably funny book for all ages. Newberry Honor agrees it is a masterpiece. That is my opinion on Mr. Popper's Penguins.

A second grader says I could not put this book down

Mr. Popper's Penguins was written by Richard and Florence Atwater in 1938. This book is so popular it has become a classic of American humor.

Mr. Poper is a gentle, untidy, and sometimes absent-minded house painter. He and his wife and their two children, Jamie and Bill, live in a simple home in Stillwater. His favorite pastime is to dream about going to the Poles. One day, Mr. Popper receives a surprise in the mail from Admiral Drake, the famous Antarctic explorer. Inside the box there was an Antarctic penguin. Mr. Popper was so thrilled to have a penguin as a pet. From that point, the Popper family's life is completely changed.

Mr. Popper named the penguin Captain Cook. Captain Coook caused a series off confusing, scary, and exciting events in the town of Stillwater, but eventually it was adopted and adored by all the neighbors. The Poppers have to make many changes and sacrifices to care for Captian Cook. However, they enjoy the fun, the adventure, and the happiness with the penguin. Subsequently, the Poppers inherit a female penguin named Greta from an aquarium in Mammath City. Together Captain Cook and Greta have ten more peguin chicks.

Mr. and Mrs. Popper came up with a spendid idea. They wanted to train the talented penguins to perform on stage. The performance was a success and became famous across the country. THe Poppers had a chance to travel from east to west during the penguins' ten-week performance and to earn enough money to pay back all the expenses for supporting the penguins. After ten weeks of performance, Mr. Popper is faced with a very important decision for the twelve penguins' future. He can either take the penguins to Hollywoood to make a lot of money or send them to the North Pole to keep the lonely explorers company.

This book is very well written. The stirt is interesting, the characters are heart-warming, the details are funny. The dialogues and the silly pictures in the book are very entertaining. The author does a good job in describing the curious, lively, and funny penguins. I enjoyed reading this book very much and I hope you will like it as well.
