Mr. Popper, when not painting or papering his neighbors' walls, has
a persistent penchant for penguins. A decorator by day, he's an intrepid
Antarctic explorer by night--at least in his imagination. Mr. Popper
resigns himself to quiet evenings at home with his family and his travel
books, until one day a mysterious package arrives. Pretty soon the Poppers
have a house full of penguins, an ice rink in the basement, and an ever-
increasing bill for raw fish and canned shrimp. Time to take this show on
the road! The Atwaters wrote this unforgettable tale in 1938, but its
timeless charm shows no signs of aging. Children are invited to imagine,
dream, and believe that anything is possible. Robert Lawson, illustrator
of The Story of Ferdinand, offers delightfully humorous pictures--as
integral to this classic as the story itself. An ideal read-aloud book
for all ages, Mr. Popper's Penguins will have any audience rolling in
the aisles.
