Product Description

Book Description

Two children - one with blue dads and one from a more traditional family - compare notes in this light hearted, easy-to-read book about parents who are different. In the end, of course, they discover that blue dads aren't really that different from other dads. Except for one thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely ridiculous and innocuous., 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Funny and light-hearted, with nothing blatant. Appeals to a preschooler's sense of the ridiculous without insulting them. My five-year-old loved it, and he only has one dad and one mom. Also encourages thinking about racial issues and questions about how "other" kids families might be structured (divorced, single-parent, step-families, gay families, adoptive families). Bright, well-composed illustrations. Vibrant text. MUCH more fun (and less preachy) than "Heather has two mommies" or the "Daddy's Roommate" books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allegorical Children's Book Explores Prejudice, 4 Jan 1998
By A Customer
ONE DAD, TWO DADS, BROWN DAD, BLUE DADS tells the story of Lou and his gay fathers, who happen to be blue. A young girl is very curious about his blue dads and asks many questions which Lou thinks are rather silly. For example, she wants to know if his blue dads can sing, cook, work, play, and stand on their heads like her dad can. Lou replies, "What funny ideas you have. Do you think dads are different because they are blue." The message is quite clear; blue dads, or gay dads, experience family life similar to white, black, or heterosexual dads. Alyson Press has recommended this book to children as young as two years old. I question whether or not very young children will be able to separate the blueness of the fathers to actually understand that having two dads is as "normal" as having one. I suggest introducing this book to a three or four year old who is better able to understand the humor in having blue or green dads. The illustrations are eye catching, include diversity in many areas and display the fathers in many cross gender activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for All Young Kids, 17 Aug 2005
This review is from: One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dad (Paperback)
This is a very clever book. Without preaching to kids that diversity is a good thing it still gets the message through. It also shows how stilly some peoples ideas are about gay people. In questioning how the dads came to be blue such ideas as did something rub off on them, was it there upbringing are addressed. I'm so impressed I will be getting copies for my sons friends ready for when they notice that he has two dads .... but no, where not blue.
