Greatest Book Ever

Get this book! It is one of the greatest books I have read! It's a great story about a man(Mr.Popper) who's likes the Atlantic and gets a little surprise. It's a package from admiral Drake. Read the book and see what happens.


Brings back memories

Our teacher read this book to us in 3rd grade. In 7th grade I played Janie in a school play. Bought the book to take me back in time. I'm almost 55 now. Great to learn that the author lived in Chicago. We'd moved to that area from Colorado when I was in 3rd grade.

extremely great

This book is brilliant because it is funny and clever. A laugh out loud experience with great illustrations. You'll wish there was a sequel.

Grand Uncle's opinion good reading development

I read this book to my daughters a bunch! I noticed one daughter reading it to herself later. She is currently at Carnegie Mellon and doing well. The other daughter reads a lot and is in college and doing excellently gradewise. So my grandnieces and nephew are getting the same reading "enhancer"... Hopefully it will have the same effect!

More than 60 years have not dated this wonderfully absurd tale--itstill makes kids (and parents) laugh out loud. Poor Mr. Popper isn't exactly unhappy; he just wishes he had seen something of the world before meeting Mrs. Popper and settling down. Most of all, he wishes he had seen the Poles, and spends his spare time between house-painting jobs reading all about polar explorations. Admiral Drake, in response to Mr. Popper's fan letter, sends him a penguin; life at 432 Proudfoot Avenue is never the same again. From one penguin living in the icebox, the Popper family grows to include 12 penguins, all of whom must be fed. Thus is born "Popper's Performing Penguins, First Time on Any Stage, Direct from the South Pole." Their adventures while on tour are hilarious, with numerous slapstick moments as the penguins disrupt other acts and invade hotels. Classic chapter-a-night fun. (Ages 5 to 10) --Richard Farr
