5.0 out of 5 stars A classic for kids of all ages (including 47-year-old ME!)
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I read this book out loud to my family, which includes hubby, a teen boy, and a tween girl. We each giggled at least once, including my very serious husband. I knew it had the stamp of approval when we finished chapter 19 of 20 and there was a collective groan when I read the title of the 20th and last chapter, but put the book down for the next night. We read one chapter each evening, or about 15-20 minutes if there were no chapter delineations, as in some other books. That chapter 20 title indicated that the end was coming for Mr. Popper's Penguins.Last night we read the last chapter. Sigh. I wasn't ready for it to be over. If you read the Kindle copy of the book, be sure to read the end-of-book matter. There are pictures of the Atwater family, and an explanation of how this book came to be. I'm SO glad Mrs. Atwater made some realistic changes to the book before it was published after Mr. Atwater's death. What she did turned it into the award-winning classic that it is, a must-read for all ages.This book was an assigned read-aloud for our homeschool curriculum, but we set it aside in a big stack of books to be read later, since it was just for enjoyment and not really related to other readings and assignments in the curriculum at the time. I'm so glad we waited, because now it would be remembered forever. It was very different from the Jim Carrey movie (also fabulous), so read this and enjoy a completely different story. Pretty much the only things relating the book and movie were the character names and the plethora of penguins!Enjoy some time with your family and read aloud!
5.0 out of 5 stars Clever romp through Mr. Popper's house full of penguins!
This book was a favorite of mine as a child, and I've really enjoyed getting to share it now with my kids and their friends! It's a classic, but timeless and doesn't feel "old". Best of all, it's not a slog to read through out loud. I admit I don't 100% love reading out loud to kids (it makes me sleepy!), but this was one that doesn't feel like a chore :) Enjoy!

Very nice
4.0 out of 5 stars Charming
I had never read this silly little book until it was on sale for Kindle and I decided to read it at bedtime with my eight-year-old son. We found its whimsical and bizarre story charming and had a great time with it. While the book's central plot ends in an abrupt deus-ex-machina and I was hoping for a bit more of a pleasant epilogue, we enjoyed our time with it. Looking forward to watching the movie with him (which I actually heard wasn't so great). Still, the turn-of-the-century explorer trope is used wildly in this book, but the fun part is that it is a book that never takes itself seriously, so it is the perfect short-chaptered before bedtime book that is a lot of fun to read as we got snoozy. Captivating illustrations throughout.

He really liked how silly the penguins were! This was an easy read for us. We will probably read this again when he's older.

It is a lot of fun and unpredictable. A house painter gets sent a penguin and all sorts of adventures result.
Mr poppers penguins
Penguin part was amazing when they were on the stage and this story is to funny you must read it
Lovely little story
This is a cute story of a man finding himself quickly surrounded by lots of penguins.He already has a wife and two children, and quite an ordinary life. And then a penguin arrives out of the blue, quickly followed by its entire family!Funny and easy to read, not to be missed!
A really entertaining read!
I came across this book and decided to check it out as I've seen the Jim Carrey film of the same name.I'm glad I did as I really enjoyed it and found it to be an excellent book and one that was easy to read and understand. It was comical too.
プロの朗読は臨場感たっぷり、発音も聞き取りやすい
出だしの楽しそうなBGMと魅力的な朗読に惹かれて購入しました。CDつきbookと勘違いして購入してしまいましたが、内容が易しいこともあり、本がなくてもほとんど聞き取ることができます。プロが読んでいるらしく、臨場感はすばらしいものです。英語教材としても名作といってよいのでは。
