Brief Annotation: Silo and Roy are two boy penguins that live at the zoo. Just like every other penguin, they want to start a family! When a zookeeper sees them mistaking a rock for an egg and sitting on it, he finds a special egg that will be just for them. When the egg hatches they have a new member to add to their family!
Genre: Nonfiction, Picture book
Grade Level: Prek-4
Readers who will like this: Children who enjoy time at the zoo; Children who have homosexual parents; Children who have families that are considered to be ‘abnormal’; children who like penguins
Response/Rating:4; LOVED this book. Such a great way to share the differences of families, especially with families of today! Homosexuality is a hard topic to cover, especially with children; the authors of this book did an excellent job of doing that!
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What is special about your family?
