Mr.Popper's Penguins

Mr.Popper is a big fan of the Antarctic. He always listens to a radio with Admiral Drake talking about Antarctica. Although Mr.Popper is a house painter, he wrote once to Admiral Drake. To thank him for writing, Admiral Drake sent Mr.Popper a penguin. Mr.Popper has a wife and two kids that are about ten years old. They all loved the penguin. The family is poor though. They named the penguin Captain Cook. Of course, it costs a lot of money to take care of a penguin. Later, Captain Cook was feeling sick. Then, Admiral Drake sent Greta (another penguin) to keep Captain Cook company. Later on, Greta started laying eggs. It was very surprising because penguins are only supposed to lay two eggs at a time. Instead, She layed ten. Altogether, Mr.Popper had twelve penguins. This was very hard to keep them alive because they were not very wealthy. Will they be able to pay their money back?
I like the book Mr.Popper's Penguins because it is funny, exciting, and interesting. You just want to keep on reading! It's also very sad at times. I would still highly recommend this book.
