Qu'y a-t-il de commun entre un peintre en bâtiment et un manchot du pôle Sud? Ne donnez pas votre langue à l'ours blanc, c'est facile: M. Popper ne rêve que banquise, et un célèbre explorateur polaire lui a fait cadeau de ce bel oiseau. Mais comment le manchot de M. Popper s'est-il multiplié par douze? A! ça, c'est toue une histoire. Lisez-la vous-même, vous ne me croiriez pas...

Ora, un pinguino in un salotto potrà anche sembrare uno spettacolo a dir poco bizzarro, ma un salotto appare altrettanto strano, visto da un pinguino. Anche se Mr. Popper sogna da sempre di fare l’esploratore e di partire per l’Antartide insieme al suo eroe, l’Ammiraglio Drake, nella vita è un semplice imbianchino: tutti lo conoscono come il miglior pittore della cittadina di Stillwater, e lo chiamano per rinfrescare le pareti delle loro case. Soltanto in primavera, però. D’inverno Mr. Popper va in vacanza, ma con la fantasia: rimane a casa a sognare di viaggi tra i ghiacci, immerso nella lettura di libri sul Polo Sud. Fino a che, un giorno, una sorpresa bussa alla sua porta: ha due pinne, un becco giallo ed è golosa di pesce fresco. È un pinguino, regalo speciale dell’Ammiraglio Drake. Capitan Cook – così ribattezzato dalla famiglia Popper – è il primo di una scatenata banda di pinguini che trasformeranno la regolare vita dei Popper in una girandola di avventure incredibili, dove ogni cosa diventa possibile. Una storia senza età, una favola da leggere tutta d’un fiato, che è diventata anche un film interpretato da Jim Carrey.

Mr. Popper träumt von Südpolabenteuern und bekommt einen lebendigen Pinguin geschenkt. Der pfiffige Kerl namens Käpt'n Cook bleibt nicht allein - und alles ändert sich im Popper-Haus .... Kinderbuchklassiker von 1938.
