Mr Popper's Penguins

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.

This book is amazing when you have started reading it you won't be able to stop and it is good for any age. And if you have watched the movie the book is 100% better it is very interesting and very funny one of the best books I have read in my life. So if your thinking of getting it please do because it is an amazing book.

A very sweet children's book which doesn't feel dated and, fortunately, is very different from the infantile film of the same name. Mr Popper is sent a penguin, receives another and then a whole host of them. They help pay for themselves and help him to live his dreams. Short and sweet but there's a reason this classic children's book is still so popular 80 years on. Absolutely charming!

As has been said before now in a title, you had me at --- . This was such a book for me whilst resting in bed I was looking through various forms of writing and the title intrigued me. It was sort of like a fantasy setting, following a contact with an explorer and the principal character that resulted in a penguin, then more came into the lives of the principal character and his family lives. This could be read to children as it featured a cute creature with equally cute characteristics even their means of walking. I recommend this book.

I loved this story, admittedly, it is quite short, but I enjoyed it throughly and would go back and read it again. Highly recommended.

Wanted bedtime stories for nearly seven year old boy. We have not seen the recent film, but I am guessing, from the film photographs used to illustrate the book, it must be a bit different. Might have been be better to have got a book with illustrations relating to the story being read, as seemed unsatisfactory to a young listener. However, when he was going through books to give to the school for Christmas sale, this was not one to go. Also, it arrived quickly and in good condition. Thankyou

We read this as a class and we thought it was amazing, incredible, marvellous, brilliiant and funny. It was the best book!

This is a great book I read it to my children and they enjoyed every second of this book.I enjoyed it to !
