This is a children's book about a man who receives a penguin sent to him by his hero, Admiral Drake. First Mr Popper has to figure out a suitable place to house a penguin, then he notices the penguin (dubbed "Captain Cook") is lonely and lethargic, so he acquires a female companion, Greta, from an aquarium where Mr Popper goes for advice. The two begin to breed until there are ten eggs, all of which hatch. The problem then is what to do with so many penguins, and how to acclimatise his house to suit so many penguins.

The book has recently been made into a comedy film, with significant changes from the original book.
