Mr. Popper loves everything about the Antartic and the great Admiral Drake who is there on an expedition. He reads, studies, follows the expedition on the radio, and even writes Admiral Drake. Things get interesting at the Popper household when the admiral responds to the letter with a special gift—a penguin. Read Richard and Florence Atwater’s Mr. Popper’s Penguins to see how one penguin grows to multiple penguins and what Mr. Popper will do with his flock.
