The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Our Favorite. So far.
We've had an audible subscription for about one year and this is our favorite story by far. We are ages 3, 7, 38 and 40 and we've listened to it countless times.
The narration is amazing. The story is delightful. As a bonus we were able to tie in some related geography, history and science to our homeschool memory work. Highly recommend!

What did you love best about Mr. Popper's Penguins?
This is a charming story, and our whole family enjoyed it. No scary scenes or anything that might frighten a sensitive child. It was read at a pace that kept my 4 year old engaged with the story.

great story
my 7 year old listened straight through and cried when it finished because she was not ready to say goodbye to the characters. she wanted to immediately start the book over again. I thought the voice could have been more into it, but he did attempt voices for the characters at least and my child liked listening to him, which is the point. overall it was fantastic and I'm very glad I got it.

Strange story
A weird story. It was hard to explain to my kids that you probably shouldn’t rework your life around penguins that arrive at your doorstep. It wasn’t that funny so it just became odd. The ending was jarring too, and even more unrealistic than the rest of the book.

Totally disappointed by the end
Performance is great.
Creativity of story is remarkable.
Content of story is really a sad commentary on a selfish and distracted man, the kind that makes American culture disrespect the role of a father in the family.
The fact that the mother and children don’t mind saying goodbye for a couple years speaks to the emptiness of their relationship.
I’d not read this story to children unless I wanted them to believe that fathers care more for pets and passions than they do for providing security and care for their kids.
