Mr. Popper's Penguins

Mr. Popper's Penguins is a fun, nostalgic read. Written in 1938, it tells the story of Mr. Popper the house painter and the antics that follow when he finds himself the owner of twelve penguins. I enjoyed reading this book because it reminded me of a simpler time, before computers and cell phones and when people were happy to host a family of penguins in their basement. Also, the illustrations are adorable and really add a lot to the story. Recommended for penguin lovers.
