5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing book about different families
Reviewed in Canada on September 25, 2021
I borrowed this book from the library and had to have my own copy. It's a beautiful little book explaining all the different types of families out there. I have an adult niece who was raised by her grandparents and she absolutely loved it as it included her situation. Single parents. Queer parents. The book covers it all. My kids love it too. Definitely perfect to have in the classroom for JK to maybe grade 2. I love the inclusiveness of Todd Parr's books and would definitely recommend this to anyone with little ones.

Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2016
Such a fun story to read together and share in the learning. My children like this book and keep asking me to read it over and over again. Which I do. The pages are bright and happy drawings. No one is the same shape, size,or colour in this book. Everyone is different. Everyone belongs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book is great, but paperback is thin
Reviewed in Canada on September 11, 2020

The content of this book is great! I’m a single-mom-by-choice so I love that it makes all different types of families for my baby! I actually ended up buying the board book version because this paperback was super thin and my baby is into eating books (eeekk). But I’ve kept this book for the future and love anything Todd Parr!

4.0 out of 5 stars contents of boardbook different from paperback
Reviewed in Canada on December 21, 2020
Verified Purchase
I got a paperback as a gift from hospital. My son loves reading it. At 8 months time, he tore off one of the page. I therefore ordered a boardbook to replace the paperback. However, some of the pages are missing and different. If you ask me which one is better, I'd say the paperback. It tells my son, when we lose someone, we feel sad; some families look alike... Now i keep both versions in my bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but damaged
Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2022

The perfect book to show my children about the different families. However, the boom I received was damaged. I don't recall selecting "used" when I clicked on the hardcover option. I'm guessing an issue with whoever completed the order. With that being said I won't be returning as I don't like being wasteful, just wanted to give a heads up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way of introducing a child to the differences in families...

Cute book - gently points out how different families can be, but how they are still the same in many ways. We are pleased with this book and our grandson really enjoys having it read to him.
