susannadkm 's review for:

Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater
1.0
slow-paced
Loveable characters: No

Mr Popper contributes so little to the household in the months he's off work that his wife thinks it would be less work for her if he's not around. I did not like him at all, and the story was so-so.

I read this to the boys. David thought it was "good" and his favorite characters were the penguins. Dean liked the jail scene.

I read the paperback.
