Smart’s Blog

Haha! Finnaly I have gotten to posting this blog. Soooo many of you guys keep asking me why I like penguins so much and well, here it is.
       This whole thing started in third grade. We had to get into reading groups and decide on a book to read with our group. Our group had no intention of reading any of the books because they sounded dumb or something. (I know, I know, dont judge a book by its cover…I was in 3rd grade!! Give me a break!) SO, our teacher picked a book for us, called Mr. Poppers Penguins. Of course, we all groaned and moaned because none of us really wanted ot read it. Then after a few days of reading, we all actually got into the book and really liked it. It was about one man called Mr. Popper who loved to learn about the Antarctic. One day, he is sent a penguin in an icebox, and more and more penguins keep coming. He and his family take care of all of them, and start teaching them tricks. They are soon know as  ’Poppers Perfoming Penguins’, and perform on stages all around. I fell in love with penguins ever since this book. I laughed everytime they performed and all the time throughout the book. The penguins were a lot of fun, so cute, witty, clumsy, smart, funny, everything a penguin sometimes usually isn’t, haha. (If that makes sense…..) Well, to understand more, you would have to read this book. So, yea i just fell in love with them adn started collecting everything penguin. Then, I think in either 2001, or 2003, (who knows, maybe 2004) March of the Penguins came out in the movies. It told the story of how penguisn must survive and raise their younge, which are sooooo cute! It is a documentry, but a good one. Then, in 2006, Happy Feet came out, telling the story of how one penguin has to fit in because hes ‘different’. He gets captured by ‘aliens’ then tells the other penguins about the aliens, but no one believes him. It was such a cute movie, including singing and dancing. Everyone loved it! Then, over the summer, another movie called Surfs Up came out. Wow, penguins are taking over the movies!!! This movie was really cute too, escpecially all the little penguins. Surfing penguins, whats better than that?! Anyways, penguins are jsut soo cute, and have funny personalitys, and I just Love them!!!
