This book is set up to ensnare. What kid wouldn't love a book about a fuzzy little baby penguin? There is not one word about the details of this story on the cover or in the blurbs. It's not until you're three long pages in that you find…

This is a beautiful true story of a family of penguin where the two fathers got to hatch an extra egg (the zookeeper found it) that needed protection. One day beautiful Tango was born and their family grew to size 3. You can still see this…

A lovely picture book about 2 male penguins who hatch and raise a penguin chick as their own. This is a true story about Roy and Silo and their daughter Tango. You can visit the real live penguin family at NYC's Central Park Zoo.

This is a great wee book about two penguins at the Central Park Zoo in New York. Just like the rest of the animals in the zoo, Roy and Silo want to start a family... but they can't, because they're both boys. One day, the zookeeper gives…

I like the idea and the illustrations, it's based on a true story. it's can be a good resource for little kids. My little read and when I asked her about the story she said:" even they can't have babies didn't stop them to adopt one and…

Great love story for all ages not just for children. It turns out to be a true story about a couple who are given a chance to adopt and raise a baby, proving that love goes beyond being human. It teaches us that a very kind and…

This book teaches children of all ages some very important messages about acceptance. We are all who we are for a reason and sometimes, that reason is to provide love for those neglected by the rest of society.

This book is wonderful! It's the perfect length for a bedtime story, lovely illustrations, and as an extra special bonus it's a beautiful, heartwarming story that spotlights how there's more than one way to be a family. I checked this…

Roy and Silo, two male penguins at the New York City Zoo, are a little bit different—they do everything together, including building a nest. And when their zookeeper sees this, he gives them an egg that needs to be cared for, and…

Animal behavior is just that animal behavior. Adults taking care of young. They have no agenda or judgement of morals. It was just an enjoyable story.

Based on a true story, this is the tale of two male penguins who raise a chick together. The message of the book is that having two daddies is just the same as having a mother-father family. Some may find this controversial, and it is…

I got this children's book so I could see what all the comments were about. I do not find anything wrong with this book or reading it to children. Then again, this is my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

This book has been the most challenged book to read because I didn’t agree with the moral of the story. This book is about two male penguins who are a couple and adopt a baby penguin. Reading this book, it helped me realize that I was…

This is a very controversial book because of the different ways a person can perceive the relationship between the 2 male penguins. I don't recommend the book for young readers because it can cause alot of confusion from the love of same…

"And Tango Makes Three" is a great and fun book for many children I believe.However, this book is quite alarming due to the topic of two male penguins being attracted to one another and acting as a male and female penguin couple do. I do…

I personally would recommend this children’s book to all parents and teachers. I would recommend this book because it allows a soft and transitional way to introduce children to homosexuality as well as it is simple yet subliminal. This is…

This read is a definite recommendation for preferably an elementary classroom. The story is one of a kind and it is put together very well. The story flows, the illustrations are great, and the plot is easy to comprehend. Regardless of the…

And Tango Makes Three is a great story about two male penguins that work together and take care of an egg. They help it hatch together and raise it together. This story is about the different kinds of families that there could be in the…

This is a wonderful children book that helps express the different types of love throughout the world. The love that the two male penguins had for each other is equivalent to what some humans experience in life. This is a great lesson,…

The thought police abound. It is so silly for people to think they know what everyone else should or should not read. Again, for those ignorant of the term "banned book". That means it has been challenged and removed from a site. This book…
