Mr. Popper's Penguins - CD Study Guide

The Study Guide

We have sold Bible based literature study guides from Progeny Press for a number of years and have been very pleased with them. Progeny Press Study Guides are used in conjunction with age appropriate novels to explore literature from a sound Biblical perspective. These study guides deal with literature as works of art and philosophy, explain and use literary terms, and deal with plot construction. They dig into why the characters act, believe, and feel as they do and examine what the Bible says in similar circumstances. Easy-to-use lessons include vocabulary exercises, comprehension and analysis, critical thinking, questions on related Biblical principles, activities, plus a complete answer key.

PLEASE NOTE:  This is an interactive CD-ROM, which contains a full-version study guide in a PDF format.  It is PC & MAC compatible.  With interactive files, students now have the capability of entering their answers directly on the computer and saving their work in progress.  Parents can also grade the work on the computer, leaving comments and notes within the file.   You can also print as many copies as you like for your students.  Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print this file format.

The Novel - Summary:

Mr. Popper is a house painter and a dreamer who loves the Antarctic and wishes he had traveled before settling down. Though his work barely brings in enough money to buy food for his family, they are happy. But Mr. Popper is a dreamer of big dreams, and when an explorer responds to a letter from Mr. Popper by sending a penguin from the South Pole, one penguin turns out to be not enough! How will the family manage 12 penguins when they can hardly feed themselves? A story full of laughs and determination.
