Annotation: In New York's Zoo, two male penguins fall in love and together begin sitting on abandoned eggs to keep them safe and warm!

Evaluation: It would be an understatement to say that this books controversy precedes it, but I think it would be a mistake to look at this book as only that, and not what it really is: a great picture book! And though not for all, parents who believe in tolerance (no matter their sexual orientation) will be drawn to this book. And of course, those parents of the same sex will adore and appreciate this sweet, insightful tale. It's hard to take a grown up issue and make it developmentally appropriate, but Richardson does so, and does it WELL!
