Book Reviews of Mr. Popper's Penguins
Book Review: A Whirlwind of Fun and Imagination
Summary: 5 Stars
Within the pages of a book, you can become lost in a world of adventure, be a princess locked in a tower, or in this case, exceed you wildest dreams. The written word is a powerful tool. It can transport you into unknown territory while still in the safety of your own home.
Mr. Popper's Penguins is a feast for the imagination. Everyone, young and old, can enjoy a fictional story of an average man with a dream of a grander life. Dreams are the fuel that inspires the common man to strive for what his heart desires.
The best part of this story is that fact that children, as well as adults, can connect with a imaginative story such as this. The tale teaches you that no matter how big of a dream you possess, if you pursue it, any dream can become a reality.
Mr. Popper's Penguins is filled with delightfully humorous antics. No one will be able to get enough of these mischievous, not to mention, adorable penguins. The book will keep you hooked until the very end.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a light-hearted story of someone finally able to experience his fantasy. Mr. Popper's Penguin's is a book that will be passed down from generation to generation, not only in my family, but in families all over the world for years to come.
Book Review: A Wonderful Kids' Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Children of all ages will enjoy this fabulous tale of Mr. Popper and his penguins. Since the movie "The March of the Penguins" came out, interest in penguins has been growing by leaps and bounds among children, why not buy them this lovely little book as a companion to that movie as a Christmas gift? Your whole family will enjoy reading it aloud, and your kids will look forward to bedtime when they get to read another chapter. What fun!Book Review: A good book to help a child's transition to books with more text
Summary: 4 Stars
"Mr. Popper's Penguins" is the first book I picked to help my 6.5-year-old daughter advance beyond picture books and, all in all, it was a good choice. It was more of an experiment to see how well she stayed with a story if we read a chapter each night.
I won't rehash the story, but instead focus on the book's format. With about 20 chapters and 135 pages, each night consisted of about six to seven pages of reading, but since the book was small, the text amply spaced and each chapter contained a small picture or two, it amounted to about ten minutes or less of me reading to her. So, reading a chapter a night was easily managed, permitting a "quick" bedtime, Q.T. with my daughter and an introduction to longer text stories for her. (Note: she is able to read picture books [i.e. Little Bear, Dr. Suess, etc.] on her own without issue.)
In addition to all that, "Mr. Popper's Penguins" is a good story that is well told, concise and able to give many an adult book a run for its entertaining money.

Summary: 4 Stars
It was a great book and I enjoyed it very much. It was a very funny and some parts were sad too. It was really fun to read it because it was fun to see what all the penguins would do. They had twelve penguins and it was fun see what Mr. and Mrs. Popper did to tell them apart. My favorite part was when they performed in front of the audience. I could tell that the audience loved the act. I also liked the part when they filled up the house with snow. Everybody had fun sliding around in the house.
Thank you for reading my two paragraphs about Mr. Popper's Penguins.
