    • 4/5
      Diverse picture book (toddler/preschool ages 2 ; counting, families)
      * Book prominently features diverse characters: a single mom Asian family, a brown-skinned girl with 2 lighter-skinned dads, two kids under the care of their grandparents, a Sikh family, one dark-skinned family, and at least two families of mixed race, with an emphasis on everyone belonging to one community.
      * Book is storytime-ready, though a group of wiggly toddlers may have trouble sitting through the whole thing. The countable items are too small for a group to count, but you can also quickly point out the groups, the finding of which is an interactive activity in itself. This would do best with small groups or one-on-one reading, and would probably do better with preschoolers than with toddlers since the storyline is less dynamic (depending on your toddlers--mine are just super wiggly).
      * Book fits the Counting theme: sort of. If you are doing a counting theme storytime, though, you probably want to mix up the style of your books, and this would be great for breaking up the "let's count on every page" monotony (you can also do the spread at the end that does provide larger but still not that large, countable objects for 1-10). It would also suit a "Family" theme or maybe even a "community" theme.
    • 5/5
      Good book that shows the diversity families can have while illustrating that no matter how different families are, they are still all one family. Simple but powerful.
