Mr. Popper's Penguins

“Here is a book to read aloud in groups of all ages. There is not an extra or misplaced word in the whole story…More fun than twenty-five movies.” —Horn Book Magazine

“More than sixty years have not dated this wonderfully absurd tale—it still makes kids (and parents) laugh out loud…The adventures…are hilarious, with numerous slapstick moments as the penguins disrupt other acts and invade hotels. Classic chapter-a-night fun.” —Amazon.com, editorial review

“This story has delighted readers for more than fifty years…Audio listeners have a singular opportunity to delight in this visit of penguins to 432 Proudfoot Avenue. Nick Sullivan brings unflappability to the tale. He is composed and straightforward as he enlivens each new character—from optimistic Mr. Popper to the exasperated-but-ever-polite Mrs. Popper to the delighted Popper children, who are ever ready to adapt to life with their new housemates. Sullivan also delivers fine penguin impersonations as Captain Cook and Greta, who are stars in the cross-country adventure of Popper’s Performing Penguins.” —AudioFile
