5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too, 28 Feb 2008
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
I absolutely love Todd Parr's work, both in his books and his videos. No matter what subject he's writing about, or speaking about, behind it all is the universal theme of diversity and acceptance.

With THE FAMILY BOOK, children and parents learn that families come in all shapes and sizes. Some families are large, some small. Some all look the same, some look different. Some families have children who are adopted, while some families even have two moms or two dads. Regardless of how your family is made up, all families share some of the same things: they like to hug, they like to celebrate together, and sometimes they're even sad together.

What a great way to teach tolerance! The bright, bold illustrations and easy-to-read pages are perfect for both beginning readers and older children, and the story is even better when read aloud with a parent -- or two!

This is another keeper for your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, 31 Aug 2007
This review is from: The Family Book (Hardcover)
My Daughter and I really loved this book. It has wonderful colourful illustrations and lots of different ideas of what families are like. It's quite simple with just a short amount of words but really does get the idea that families come in all sorts of shapes.

Excellent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, bright book , 17 Mar 2009
The Family Book is great for introducing children to all the different kinds of families out there and gives the message 'All families are different and yours is completely normal.'

One thing to keep in mind is that this is an American book so it does refer to 'mom' and 'colors'. If that doesn't bother you too much then it's definately worth buying, it has lovely bright colours that'll please a baby or young child.
