But Mr. Popper has enough trouble supporting his human family, and so he has the idea to take his penguins to the stage. Soon, Mr. Popper is up to his ears in adventure as he tries to manage 12 performing penguins and the trouble they inevitably get into.
This book is absolutely fantastic and filled with enjoyment! It tells the story of a family who may not have had much, but they knew how to make the most of it. Not only that, but they also did right by everyone around them. The book beautifully captures the incredible personalities of penguins, those magnificent creatures from the South Pole.
The narration in 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' is absolutely terrible, leaving you feeling unsatisfied. It's such a disappointment, and I really hope this isn't an indication of the overall quality of the service. Such a letdown!
I remember back in my elementary school days when a teacher shared the story of 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' with our class. It was a real blast from the past to revisit it and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it once more.
The narration was a bit flat, but other than that, it was alright I suppose. I would give it 2.5 stars. I had to listen to it, but it's not something I would choose to do willingly.
This audiobook is narrated by a dude, and I gotta say, it resonated with me. It's relatable, you know? I mean, who hasn't had their fair share of problems like the main character in the story? But here's the thing, the narration is on point! It's like you can feel the emotion coming through. And hey, the idea that I can listen to this story is just fantastic. I'm not sure if everyone will feel the same, but I personally think it's pretty awesome!
The performance in 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' is fantastic.
The story is incredibly creative.
The content of the story is a poignant reflection on a self-absorbed and easily-distracted man, which sheds light on how American culture sometimes disregards the importance of a father's role in the family.
The fact that the mother and children easily bid farewell for a couple of years highlights the lack of emotional connection in their relationship.
I wouldn't recommend reading this story to children unless you want them to believe that fathers prioritize pets and personal interests over ensuring the safety and well-being of their children.
