COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Somewhat dated but still fun submitted by andrea on August 26, 2011, 10:31pm I just finished reading this as a read-aloud bedtime story for my kids. I loved this book as a child, and I was surprised to realize how dated it is. The story is fun, but I was shocked at the portrayal of Mrs. Popper, clearly a character from a different time when women were viewed very differently. I was also surprised at how unrealistic many parts of the story are, and it struck me that I never understood that when I read it as a child and took the story at face value. But my kids seemed to enjoy it just as much as I did when I was as young as they are.

Interesting submitted by Mila Hunsinger on June 16, 2018, 8:57pm My favorite part of Mr Popper's penguins was when Mr Popper gets Captin Cook, the penguin. The book is quite hilarious . It makes me laugh.

Mr Popper's Penguins submitted by renuyonkoski on July 22, 2018, 12:52pm This is a great book because the penguins are so funny and mischievous. They also help the family get back together and stop fighting.

good childrens book submitted by .-.-.-. on June 15, 2022, 9:23am Can't believe how old this book is. It's kind of old so it's not the best, but it's still a decent book where you can also learn something because of its age
