Teaser Tuesday--Mr. Popper's Penguins

Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater

"There was not the slightest doubt about it. It was a penguin. Mr. Popper was speechless with delight."

I had not read this book as a child (how did I ever miss this!), but I was determined to read it with my children before the movie comes out. We are enjoying it as a read aloud and hope to see the movie later this summer.

I'm on a mission to read all those books I should have read as a child, or that I think I read but really didn't. This is one of them.

What are your childhood favorites?
