Recently Spotted: Unknown Location

Current GOAL: I'd like to travel around the world visiting my relatives. Please take me to zoos, aquariums, marine parks, anywhere that I can find friends and family. Eventually I'd like to end up in Antarctica so I can see where my family came from.

About this item:
Mr. Popper is the title character in one of my favorite childhood books, "Mr. Popper's Penguins" by Richard and Florence Atwater. Written in 1938, it is the story of a house painter who is given a penguin by Admiral Drake, an Antarctic explorer. The one penguin quickly becomes twelve, and the fun begins.

Since the cache he was in has disappeared, along with Mr. Popper, it's time to send him to the Travel Bug Graveyard.

My brother found this and brought it to Phoenix. He says: Hey I found this quite by accident while looking for a free paper and was on my way to Denver so thought what the heck I would bring it along. Thought we could take him to the zoo if it does not rain then send him on his way.
