Mr. Popper's Penguins
by Richard Atwater
Florence Atwater
Little, Brown & Company
It was hard enough for Mr Popper to support himself, Mrs Popper, and Bill and Janie Popper. The addition of twelve penguins to the family made it impossible to make ends meet. Then, Mr. Popper had a splendid idea- that the talented penguins would be a sensation on the stage! And so they were... A classic of American humor, this story of a gentle housepainter and his high-stepping penguins has delighted children for generations.
