We listened to it in my school class and the children thoroughly enjoyed the delightful tale of Mr. Popper and the antics of his penguins.

It was truly a grand reading. I enjoyed it very much. If you have seen the movie, the book is so different. I loved it.

Great book for all kinds of readers. From kids to adults, this book will keep you occupied and is a classic in my family. I think that this book is very different from the movie, although I would still highly recommend both, as they are very humorous. Lastly, I think that the narrator does a very good job with changes in tones, so it is easy to relate to the character’s emotions.
