I think this book is fun and animal lovers will enjoy it, but it can come off as a bit dated.
The laughter that came as we read this made it such a fun read. The particular ending felt a bit abrupt or not quite believable, but most of the book humorously wasn't.
this book is a testament to the power of human selfishness. someone tell mr popper that maybe those penguins didn't WANT to hang out with him. maybe they wanted to be MY friend. maybe mr popper should have invited ME to his penguin house sometime.
on the upside this is the funnest cutest book on earth and i love it.
this is part of a project i'm doing where i write reviews of books i read a long time ago, blah blah blah, i'm going to go watch videos of penguins now.

This is a rare instance of where I watched the movie before I read the book that inspired it. Read it in little over an hour. Mr. Popper reminded me a touch of Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins.
Not a favorite...but not bad...I think the cute factor wins over people. It's a herd of penguins!

I don't know how many times I've reread this, but it's a pleasure every time.
Worked well for a bedtime read-aloud book: short chapters and occasional pictures.
A good choice for elementary one school, one book programs.
Who knew that a simple letter could change one's whole life? This book is a fun adventure that starts from a man's simple fascination with penguins to a consuming petastic voyage. I really enjoy the way older books read when discussing fantastical things as if they are perfectly acceptable. Like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and the "Wizard of Oz", this is a classic that isn't done a lot of justice in the films and a must read for children.

Busy housepainter Mr. Popper gets a flipper of a surprise when an admiral sends him a small penguin that becomes a part of his family. His one penguin will quickly become a big family of penguins that will be the answer to their financial troubles.
