Mr. Popper's Penguins #7407.Mr. Popper always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world, especially the Poles-North and South. He is a house painter by trade but in his spare time he reads all about the polar explorations. When Mr. Popper writes a fan letter to Admiral Drake about his explorations, the Admiral sends him and Mrs. Popper a penguin in response. They decided to make a home for the penguin in the icebox, but one penguin quickly turned to 12. Since they all needed to be cared for, "Popper's Performing Penguins" was born. Their hilarious adventures while on tour include moments when the penguins ruin the show and take over the hotels.Related product
