Mr. Popper's Penguins

Our last meeting of the summer book club and I forgot my camera.

It was a bummer because we had the quintessential summer party.
Penguin art, ice cube relay, lots of otter pops at a local park.

It was a fun book, the kids loved it (Miriam is reading it for a second time by herself), but it didn't really compare to the other Newbury honor books I have read. Not much emotion or deep thinking evoked. Just easy reading and very fun, which I guess is best for the varied ages of our group. We are all intrigued to see the movie because the trailers didn't look at like what we read. We'll have to see what Jim Carrey has to offer.

Soren is getting a hang of the whole picture taking stuff.

What a cheese-ball he is.
