No matter your size, shape, or pedigreeif you love each other, you are a family!Moms, dads, sisters, brothers and even Great Aunt Sue appear in dozens of combinations, demonstrating all kinds of nontraditional families! Silly animals are cleverly depicted in framed portraits, and offer a warm celebration of family love.From School Library JournalPreSGr 1Imagine a house with many rooms, whose walls each have a different color or wallpaper, accenting a family portrait hanging there. On a rustic wooden wall hangs the first portraita large family of ducks posing beside a still pond. The next spread shows three pandas in pink vests, much like the pink oriental wallpaper behind them. Each portrait features a gently rhyming line: 'Some children live with their grandparents/and some live with an aunt./Some children have many pets/and some just have a plant.' All of these appealing images demonstrate different ways of being a family. 'Some children live with their father./ Some children have two mothers./Some children are adopted./Some have stepsisters andbrothers.' The cartoonstyle critters contrast pleasantly with more realistic elementsa bamboo plant, a slender ceramic dog, a fat ceramic cat. Families of hippos, tigers, lions, ostriches, and whales join the other family groups in the final spread. The loudandclear message is that 'if you love each other, then you are a family.' And imagine the many children who will be reassured because they have found a portrait of a family they will recognize as their own. A solid choice for most libraries.Mary Jean Smith, formerly at Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN
