I read this book because everyone during banned book week was talking about it. Here is the goodreads description:
In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others. This illustrated children's book fictionalizes the true story of two male penguins who became partners and raised a penguin chick in the Central Park Zoo.
I find it sad that people made a big deal out of this book. I mean I understand that there are people out there who don't like homosexuals, but I find it hard to see that this books makes things any worse. In fact I thought it was a beautiful book about love. So many people are missing love in their life or even the love of a family so to read this was wonderful. Love can be found anywhere if you just look!!! I gave it four kitties because I didn't love the illustrations. Oh and this is based off a true story so if I ever go to the Central Park Zoo in New York I soooo want to see these penguins!
