"Any book where's the banning is a book worth reading." Since this book finds itself on many a banned book list, it qualifies. But beyond that, it's actually a really well-written children's book. The illustrations are also beautiful. Personally, I find nothing inappropriate about this book- it's a cute, true story about two male penguins who raise a chick together. I highly recommend this book (and would even if it weren't controversial).

Beau livre cartonné en anglais. Histoire vraie d’un pingouin qui a deux papas. C’est très mignon et touchant!

This is a great book, with detailed drawings and a real life storyline...
This story is quite simply about a family...a different family than most..but a family all the same..who want nothing more than to be happy...if you see it solely as a gay couple get an egg then truly you have missed the point...
Love comes in many forms and it comes without prejudice or the need for grandiose moments...

Read it when it first came out and bought again to read to my own children. A great way to broach the concept of different families.

My family loves this book, we’ve been reading it together for years. It’s well written, and has great illustration. Has a positive message about inclusiveness and the diversity of families.

This is an utterly charming book based on a true story and is perfect for introducing young children to the concept that 'family' can mean different combinations. In this case it is about two Dads and a youngster (Tango). And the drawings of the penguins are just delightful.

Sweet story of NY penguins
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2018Verified Purchase
I really like this. I believe it could be written in a way that would have been more engaging, however; it is a little long-winded for its target audience and I've had children under five get bored before the end when I've read it (I am a former children's librarian). But the story is adorable and it has become a classic of early years literature, standing out for being a true story and having a very accessible LGBT theme, which is introduced in a very natural way. I have had a couple of conversations with children about gay parents when reading this book when they have had trouble understanding the concept, but often it is just accepted by children that the penguins are both male. It is fairly popular with children (though more so with liberal adults) and the illustrations are beautiful. I believe the company Educate and Celebrate have a lesson plan based on this book, so if you are a teacher reading this review, search for that online.

Turned out to be an adoption story!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2016Verified Purchase
Just beautiful. We happened upon this by chance having seen a youtube video about these penguins and so the boys wanted tthe book. We thought it would be a way of talking about same sex relationships. Our childre, who have same sex couples in their lives, didn't see that. They saw a wonderful love story and a tale of adoption. They said 'this is like our family! You fell in love and we are the eggs not looked after and now we are the beautiful family.' Which we liked a lot. Highly recommend it, lovely pictures and delightful story.

Arrived in bad condition.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2019Verified Purchase
I know this is a board book for young children, it’s going to get knocked about, but it has been delivered with scuffed corners and dents in the pages. There is no cover to protect the book in transit. I’m not very happy to give this as a birthday gift.

Great message, lovely book, kid now wants to lay an egg.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2020Verified Purchase
Three year old adores this book and now spends large parts of the day building a nest and sitting on her penguin egg. This is a far messier task than you might imagine, but, as penguins need to be quiet to get their eggs to hatch, it's a welcome relief from the aural-assault I've had to endure since she learned to talk 18 months ago 😁
The story is sweet, as are the drawings, and the book has a great message. It's given us a great conversation starter to talk about how families are all different shapes and sizes 👍

A beautiful story about two penguins
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2020Verified Purchase
This is a small, hardback book containing a beautifully written story about two penguins building a family.
It was bought as a Christmas gift for a child, but all of the adults gave it a read and there were more than a few eyes being dabbed when they finished.
When it comes to LGBT+ books this is an essential addition to any library and is definitely set to become a firm favourite in our house.
