We begin the novel, Mr. Popper's Penguins. It is a Newbery Honor Book about a dreamy house painter named Mr. Popper. He longs to be an explorer, have adventures, and most of all, visit the polar regions. He eventually gets his wish, but not in exactly the way he had hoped. Our focus in reading will be on chapters 1-4.
