Authors: Richard and Florence Atwater Challenged Book
I loved every minute while reading Mr. Popper's Penguins. I did this kind of backwards, I saw the movie, which made me want to read the book. I can't believe this is on the challenged book list. Mr. Popper was entertaining and after reading this book, I wanted to go out and get a penguin for my very own. I guess having penguins taken out of their natural environment would be considered problematic which could cause controversy. But I do think students would understand that just because he had penguins living with him does not mean it is OK for everyone to go out and get a penguin. This was a well written and highly entertaining book!
