What is Mr. Popper's penguins about?

Mr Popper is a quiet house painter who dreams of exploring the polar regions. His life changes when an Antarctic explorer sends him a penguin named Captain Cook. Soon, another penguin arrives, and before long Mr Popper’s home is filled with a lively family of birds. As the penguins grow, Mr Popper trains them to perform on stage, bringing laughter and excitement wherever they go. But caring for twelve penguins is not easy, and their extraordinary adventures lead the family into unexpected trouble.
