Mr. Popper's Penguins Audiobook

" i liked this book when i read it in the third grade! "

" Katie and I read it together. It was good. Katie liked the illustrations throughout, and liked hearing about the silly penguins. "

" Enjoy this humorous account of a family adapting to life with pet penguins. "

" It's a bit Disney. Cute. Fluffy even. But sweetly endearing and a very gentle (if somewhat unbelievable) read. 5-7 year olds will love having it read to them. "

" This was a read-aloud with my son, age 13. I've been meaning to read it to him for years and finally did so since the movie is coming out this summer. It's a fun, quick read-aloud with a bit of a surprise ending. "

" So sad when Mr.Popper and the Penguins get put in jail. "

" This was very entertaining. I started reading it with my kids, but finished it up myself. Very 1930s - I had no idea it was written that long ago. Envisioning the birds and their antics was a lot of fun. "

" It was a fun book to read aloud to my young girls. A very silly book! "

" Its a cute book... So different from the movie... Hard to remember all of the penguins names "

" I thought the book was good but there was a sad ending. "

" This is a good book. By the way I want those penguins! I like Capt. Cook because he is very funny. If you read this book I hope you like it. "

" So dated, yet amusing. "

" Not my personal favorite, but my 5-year-old son thought it was pretty funny. "

" granted, the last time i read it was in first grade, but i thoroughly enjoyed it then. it's still one of my favorite books. "

" Super cute family read - just in time for the movie! "

" A middle-grade novel about a daydreaming man and his love of penguins...very cute! It was first published in 1938, so some bits are outdated (like the fact that they spank the penguins for misbehaving!) but overall, it was a good book. "

" I love penguins, so this was a bit disappointing. It might have been really good when it was published, but it seems a bit hokey for modern times. "

" A quick read but pretty adorable. Penguins! "

" I very cute story, not at all what I expected, I guess I was assuming it to be more like the movie, however it is not. I enjoyed the tale of a man who need something special in his life. "

" This is a really cute book. Especially good book to read to kids. Lots of LOL moments. Alex really wants to see the movie now...wonder if it does the book justice? "

" Book #71 for 2012: Another one from the library. Wanted to read something light yesterday because I took to the bed (was sick for a couple of days). This did the trick. Now I can watch the movie. "

" Super-cute and fun read. This book will make you want to take in a few penguins as pets. Trust me! "

" A fun memory from my childhood. "

" Super fun to read aloud to the 3-8 year-old set. Harry loved it. "

" A cute children's book that I never read as a child. Read it out loud to Molly - we both enjoyed it! I am sure that the upcoming movie will be very different, but it was a pleasure to read, and not too dated! "

" I think it is fun. Mr.Popper gets a penguin in the mail. So funny! "

" A fun read that most kids would enjoy. "

" From an adult perspective, not the best. But my 6 year old daughter loved it. Mr. Popper was a little crazy I think, and his wife for allowing him to do all those crazy things for penguins. "

" Read for my Newbery class. A nice flashback to 4th grade. "

" A cute story, just a little odd, but the boys and I enjoyed it. "

" love this and the movie is hillarious. "

" One of my favorite read alouds. The kids had fun listening to it. I didn't like the ending. It was finished by the author's wife after he died. I think she must have been sad that he died. "

" i dont mean to give this book a bad review but it's like a childish book. i enjoyed it and thought it was funny. i also liked learning about penguins and what they can do!!! "

" One of my childhood favorites. I loved this book because it made me laugh. Every elementary school child should read this or have it read to them. "

" I read this book a very long time ago so I can't remember much other than I thought that it was really good. I will read it again and update this review. "

" Read aloud to my 6-year-old daughter. We loved it - funny and heart-warming. "

" I wanted to read it, before the movie with Jim Carey comes out. To me, not such great writing or plot. It is a quick read, because it is for fifth graders. I hope the movie is more entertaining, which would be a first! Usually the books are always better!!! "

" Read with my 8-year-old daughter who said, "I hope the film's more fun!" Still a cute story though. "

" I am not sure why I have never read this book. I really enjoyed it. My daughter was reading it, and so I decided I wanted to read it. There is a movie coming out this summer. Now I can't wait to see it. I only hope it is as good as the book. "

" My sister had mentioned that Mr. Popper's Penguins was one of her favorite books as a kid. I had never read it, so when I came across a copy at a book sale I bought it. It was pretty inventive and I did enjoy it. "

" Cute! Makes me want to go on an Antarctic cruise, or back up North to see polar bears again. "

" mr.popper got some penguins they got alot of money and brought the penguins to the north pole "

" I remember liking this much better as a child. Re-reading it with our children left me wanting something more...proably more of the humor I remember in it as a child. I didn't like the ending this time around. "

" One of my most favorites from childhood...I remember doing a box diorama book report on it too. It included icebergs made from Kleenex and horribly done penguins cut from paper. "

" There making a movie of my favorite, well one of, childhood books. JIm Carey is going to be Mr. Poppers:) so exciting! "
