    5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!

    Absolutely loved this story (originally borrow the book from the library) that we bought a copy to keep at home. The CD/narrated version by Neil Patrick-Harris is really good. I love that it's a TRUE story of two male penguins raising a penguin from birth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tenerissimo
    Reviewed in Italy on 14 May 2019
    Verified Purchase
    And tango makes three è una tenera e toccante fiaba, resa ancora più bella dalke dalle illustrazioni perfette di Henry Cole, ed è ispirata alla storia vera di Roy e Silo, due pinguini maschi dello zoo di Central Park che nel 2000, grazie a un guardiano intenerito dalla bellezza del loro amore, divennero la prima coppia omogenitoriale ad "adottare" un uovo e a prendersi cura di una pulcina, la piccola Tango. È un racconto davvero dolce e pieno di speranza, che esalta la diversità e ci ricorda un fatto ovvio ma sempre valido: famiglia è dove c'è amore. C'è un gran bisogno di storie come questa, coi tempi che corrono.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A good "footprint in the sand" to leave on a child's growing sense of the world around them
    Reviewed in the United States on 30 April 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Funny - as I finished reading this beautiful book for the first time, one of my old favorite songs (by Hal David/Burt Bacharach) as a child growing up in the 60's started playing in my head...

    What the world needs now is love sweet love,
    It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
    What the world needs now is love sweet love,
    No not just for some but for everyone!

    The simplicity of the words husband and husband team Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell have used to tell the true story of a couple of male chinstrap penguins (Roy and Silo) at New York's Central Park Zoo, who had paired off as a couple and were given an extra fertilized egg to hatch on their way to becoming a family unlike any of the zoo's other animal families (but a family nonetheless!), makes this book a perfect way to begin naturally introducing the concepts of acceptance and inclusion to youngsters. The soft illustrations by Henry Cole are such a nice complement to the story - I'm really looking forward to sharing this special book with our four grandchildren, who will most certainly be meeting many families of varying composition during their lifetimes! The way baby Tango and his dads are welcomed by the children coming to see them after his birth is a good "footprint in the sand" to leave on a child's growing sense of the world around them.

    I'm a dozen years late in my personal discovery of the book, so I missed the brouhaha surrounding its 2005 publication, having appeared on the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom's "Top Ten Most Challenged Book List" from 2006-2010, reappearing in 2012, and - sadly - again as late as 2014. This is such a gentle book, and to imagine literature that celebrates the love and devotion of parents would ever appear on such a list is disheartening. This is a sweet book that talks of the desire to share a home and a family (I'll type the text in the comment section below for parents/grandparents to read for themselves if they're on the fence about the book.) The younger of my two sons is gay, has been in a committed and happy relationship with his partner for seven years, and should they eventually marry and decide to begin a family, it would be so painful to the heart of this mother to see his family shunned or ridiculed. I hope the authors have not experienced it since the birth of their own daughter, little Gemma, whom I suppose is about 8 years old now and feeling very loved and secure.

    Children are drawn to books about animals, there aren't too many animals cuter or funnier than penguins, and if you're a parent or grandparent who's searching for ways to begin opening your child's mind to the concept of the different types of families they'll encounter (or may be a part of!) along life's journey, as I myself have been, I think "And Tango Makes Three" is a nice place to start.

    Good book with a great story based on reality. Book came nicely packed in a good condition.
    Stories like this will definitely help parents shape up their children in better human beings who accept others and the world as it is.
