Product Description
Synopsis
"Picnic in the Park" is a fully illustrated book for children which tells the story of Jason's birthday picnic and his guests. In so doing, it introduces children to a range of family structures, including two- and one-parent families; adoptive and foster families; gay and lesbian families; and step-families. It also shows a diverse range of adults and children. Using the device of a birthday picnic in the park, each page shows a new set of guests coming to the party; children can draw their own and friends' families on the pages at the back. Vividly illustrated, this book will provide family placement workers with an invaluable tool for introducing children to contemporary family structures in their preparation work with children prior to placement. Indeed, given the scope of the contents, this book could be used with any child in any setting to introduce them to modern-day family structures.

Format:Paperback
This is quite a nice story and introduces children to the idea of single-parent families, gay families, children who live with their grandparents etc. I got this for my son as I'm a single parent and I wanted him to grow up understanding that all families are different and he's not the only one without a father and given the lack of books about single parent families, this one is ok. It's a shame about the paper it's printed on, it's quite thin and can tear easily, so I'll have to make sure we're careful with this one.
Format:Paperback
As a single adopter I was looking for a book to help my 3yr old understand that it's ok for families to differ.
As the previous reviewer said, the quality of the paper (and cover) is poor. Really not worth the cover price. Far more disappointing I found the story to be tedious and unimaginative, and the artwork isn't great either.
Even with adlib there's no way it'll hold a young child's attention and I doubt an older child would find it interesting either.
