Mr. Popper’s penguins was one of my all time favorite books as a kid. The story goes a little something like this:
Mr. Popper is a painter who wants to travel far far away. He gets a surprise box from the admiral in antarctic he sent letter to, and turns out, it's a penguin. The penguin lays eggs, and now they have 12 penguins. To earn money to feed them, Mr. Popper trains the penguins and turns them into a circus act.

It is a really cool and interesting book, and one can only hope Fox does a good job with it's adaptation. They are no Pixar when it comes to this, but we'll just have to wait and see. Possible stars as Mr. Popper include Jim Carrey, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black. Mark Waters, the man behind Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Mean Girls, and Freaky Friday, is choice for director.
So what do YOU think? Excited??
