Silly animals are cleverly depicted in framed portraits, and offer a warm celebration of family love.From School Library JournalPreS-Gr 1-Imagine 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 portrait-a 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 and-brothers.\" The cartoon-style critters contrast pleasantly with more realistic elements-a 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 loud-and-clear 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49673553019120,"sku":"NEW0553499386","price":12.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/families-families-families-by-lang-suzanne","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
