Mr. Popper's Penguins was written in
1938, that was a long time ago. The story is set sort of during the time of the life of
Gypsy Rose Lee in the time of
Gypsy, or so it seemed to me. That whole traveling act kinda deal. I liked that. It made me think of
Frances "Baby" Gumm, and we all know how much I love her! This book makes a great read aloud for younger children. It was made into a
movie, starring
Jim Carrey, which I did not see. Well worth reading and funny illustrations. It did win a
Newbery Honor, which is weird because kids like it!
