    I bought this to go along with my son's homeschooling language arts curriculum. I don't know how I made it through childhood without reading this book, but I'm glad I got to enjoy it with my child as an adult. GREAT story that I'm reading to the little brother now. In this age of electronic everything, it's heartwarming to see two busy boys truly enjoy a classic like this!

    A Book Review
    Review date: 2010-02-02 Rating: 10 out of 10


    My book was about a man who was named Mr. Popper. He was a house painter. He had two children named Janie and Bill. He and his family lived at 432 Proudfoot Avenue. He likes to read books about the Arctic, Antarctica, North Pole, and South Pole. Whenever there was a book in the library about these areas he was the first one to borrow the books.

    He has always wanted to travel to the arctics. He loved to read about the messages of Admiral Drake that were in the library books. Then, one day the postman came and rang the bell. Finally, some one came and the post man asked," Do the Popper's live here?" They answered yes. You have a package. The package was from Antarctica. It had a penguin in it. Mr. Popper named the penguin Captain Cook.

    Then one day, Captain Cook got sick. He got sick because he needed a friend. He was homesick for all his brothers and sisters. Mr. Popper called Antarctica and asked for them to send them another penguin.

    One day, another penguin arrived. The Poppers named the penguin Greta. The Poppers wrote the penguins names on the their backs because the penguins looked alike. The Poppers painted the names of the penguins with white paint. The Poppers could tell them apart. Finally, Captain Cook was happy again.

    I would tell people about this book if they liked animals, if they have pets, and if they enjoy being cold and in the snow. People who like to read things that are funny and people who have a big imagination would like this book. The fourth, fifth, and sixth graders would love it. I think the girls would like it the most.

    My favorite part was when Captain Cook got happy because he had a friend. Then, he felt good again and his family did too. They all became happy when Greta came. That was my favorite part.

    I greatly enjoyed this book when I was a child, but I had some hesitation starting it with my own kids, who have grown up with a much faster-paced multi-media lifestyle and for whom imagining life in the 1930s is more difficult than imagining life in a fairy tale.

    I shouldn't have worried. By the end of the second chapter--if not sooner--my boys were completely tuned into Mr. Popper's universe. No questions about why the family traveled on trains instead of airplanes. No questions about ice delivery and ice boxes. They simply enjoyed the story (though they did want to learn more about penguins and whether they could have one as a pet, too).

    The grammar and language of the book have aged extremely well; you can easily forget that this book was written over 70 years ago!

    Highly recommended, both for children and for people who want to reconnect with their inner child.
