Sonya, 10, read Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater
The unknown painter Mr. Popper lived in a small town, followed the travels of Admiral Drake and dreamed of polar expeditions. Once the postman brought him a parcel from the South Pole with a real live penguin — and the dream began to come true. Reading this book, I was happy, like Mr. Popper, I was scared, like his wife, who saw a live penguin for the first time, and sad with the penguin, Captain Cook — at first he was lonely at a party. I imagined how glad the dreamy Mr. Popper was when he nevertheless went on an expedition!
Now it seems to me that any dream, even a very big one, if you really want it, will definitely come true! Eh … Well, actually, I have such a dream … I would really like to go to Paris … They say that this is a city of love and fashion, and I like to make clothes, draw them. In general, the main idea is this: you can not doubt your dreams. They are at any moment — when you do not expect it — boo-boo! — and come true!!!
