Closed: Mr Popper’s Penguins Featuring Jim Carrey

Did you know that Mr. Popper’s Penguins is actually based on a children’s book from 1938? There are some other books that dads can read with their children this winter that have also been turned into some of our family favorite films. Titles will include books such as Fantastic Mr. Fox, Shrek! and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Here’s a more brief explaination of the books:

• Fantastic Mr. Fox: A Roald Dahl’s 1970 novel is a story about a fox and his family who steal chickens, ducks and turkeys from three mean and wealthy farmers in order to survive.
• Shrek!: Though you may not have heard of the 1990 children’s book, William Steig’s Shrek! was the inspiration for the famous film franchise.
• Mr. Popper’s Penguins: Originally published in 1938, Mr. Popper’s Penguins tells the story of a poor house painter and his family, who live in the small town in the 1930s.
• A Series of Unfortunate Events: Written by Lemony Snicket is a series of children’s books that follow the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire after their parents’ death in a fire.
• Harry Potter: To some kids, and adults, the Harry Potter series of books (which tell the story of a boy wizard born to fight the evil Dark Lord, Voldemort) are an essential part of their life long reading experience.
