If you’re looking for a classic, read Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater.

In your review you state that the admiral sends Mr. Popper a female penguin. This is not correct. Mr. Popper gets the female penguin, named Greta from the Mammoth City Aquarium according to pages 66 and 67 in the book.

I have this book except it is a different version. I never read because I got it when I was younger but now that I am in the fifth grade now I can read that version and this version.
