Fun, classic story and my son loved it. Kept him interested the whole way through. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic for kids of all ages (including 47-year-old ME!) *by on Reviewed in the United States July 11, 2015* I read this book out loud to my family, which includes hubby, a teen boy, and a tween girl. We each giggled at least once, including my very serious husband. I knew it had the stamp of approval when we finished chapter 19 of 20 and there was a collective groan when I read the title of the 20th and last chapter, but put the book down for the next night. We read one chapter each evening, or about 15-20 minutes if there were no chapter delineations, as in some other books. That chapter 20 title indicated that the end was coming for Mr. Popper's Penguins.Last night we read the last chapter. Sigh. I wasn't ready for it to be over. If you read the Kindle copy of the book, be sure to read the end-of-book matter. There are pictures of the Atwater family, and an explanation of how this book came to be. I'm SO glad Mrs. Atwater made some realistic changes to the book before it was published after Mr. Atwater's death. What she did turned it into the award-winning classic that it is, a must-read for all ages.This book was an assigned read-aloud for our homeschool curriculum, but we set it aside in a big stack of books to be read later, since it was just for enjoyment and not really related to other readings and assignments in the curriculum at the time. I'm so glad we waited, because now it would be remembered forever. It was very different from the Jim Carrey movie (also fabulous), so read this and enjoy a completely different story. Pretty much the only things relating the book and movie were the character names and the plethora of penguins!Enjoy some time with your family and read aloud! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic book that has delighted several generations of children. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 8, 2026* The story in this book has been a joy for children to read for about three generations. I have not yet heard from the parents of the child to whom I gave it for Christmas, but they expected the child would be delighted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mr Popper's Penguins - My Father's Dragon - Charlotte's Web: 70th Anniversary Edition (A Puffin Book) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2334939-mr-poppers-penguins-newbery-honor-award-winner](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2334939-mr-poppers-penguins-newbery-honor-award-winner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
