Book Reviews of Mr. Popper's Penguins
Book Review: I'd Recommend This Book to Any Painter or Child
Summary: 4 Stars
I learned only two major things about Mr. Popper from reading this book. First, he's a painter, and second, he really, really likes the polar regions of the world. Earlier today, when I saw a guy painting a bathroom, I almost felt like asking him if he ever dreams about visiting penguins in Antarctica. I tell you, after reading Mr. Popper's Penguins, I'll never look at painters in the same way ever again. Maybe they're all like that.
The plot's super-simple and the only part that's even remotely complex is when Mr. Popper is thrown in jail. Such things happen...
There's a particular scene in the chapter "More Troubles" where Mr. Popper tries to call and ask about getting a penguin license. He has some problems being understood over the telephone, and I thought the horribly persistent miscommunications were delightfully funny.
I would recommend this book to any kid. It may be a bit simple for adults but there's no denying that it's good, clean fun. It possesses a rare trait in that it's truly appropriate for anyone and it doesn't try to push any agenda. You'd have to be a real stick-in-the-mud to hate or feel threatened by any part of Mr. Popper's Penguins. A perfect kid's book.
Book Review: IT'S FUN TO READ BUT ONLY ONCE.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a book called Mr.Popper. I like the book because penguin is one of my favorite animal. The book was so exciting that it made my eyes always pay attention on the book, and it made me want to read more. I like it when Mr.Popper has lots of penguins. The main problem on this book is that Mr.Popper always wanted a penguin, but one day, he did get a penguin. He took care of the penguin very well. After a while, Mr.Popper's penguin was having lots of children. One day when Mr.Popper was on jail, someone got him out, and told him to lived in Alaska.Book Review: MR. POPPERS PENGUINS

MR.POPPERS PENGUINS a phenomenal book hilarious written by Richard and Florence Atwater. This book is great. It is about a man called Mr. Popper, a house painter who loves the artic. He also wants a penguin as a pet. This great realistic fiction book. I loved it because it's humorous because of the penguins in showbiz. I recommend it for all ages.
