Penguins Make Us Laugh

Penguins are cute. And funny.  If you’ve ever watched The Penguins of Madagascar (and hooray! They have a new movie!), you’ll agree.

Penguins are also cute. Is it the way they waddle? The way they can’t fly? The way they cuddle their newborns?  We have a few children’s books in this house that feature penguins and we love them.  We even have stuffed penguins.

This month, for my Netflix #streamteam feature, we’re chatting movies that make us laugh for the kids.  That’s an easy one to find on Netflix, take a peek in the kids’ comedy/animated film categories and you’ll find something.  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is one favourite.

Another, is Mr. Popper’s Penguins.  This was a movie that we all ended up loving. The kids have watched it over and over again. I didn’t know what to expect and it was cute, family friendly, funny and sweet.

What I didn’t know was that it was based on a book.  I found that out when my son brought home the book he picked for his latest English assignment: Mr. Popper’s Penguins.

Pop some popcorn, place your posterior down and peep Mr. Popper’s Penguins
