Parent Note:
This humorous classic includes mild slapstick situations as Mr. Popper and his penguins get into trouble, but nothing scary or inappropriate. There is no profanity, violence, or mature content. Occasional old-fashioned expressions, reflecting the book’s 1930s publication, are suitable for young readers. The story encourages creativity, problem-solving, and kindness toward animals, making it an ideal choice for elementary students and family reading. As with any children's resource, please refer to trusted sources for reviews before reading. For your reference, we have linked Plugged In's review.
