Olivia and I finally received our order of Tango from B&N and we eagerly read it! We both enjoyed it very much and I told O that I had seen movie about penguins in Antarctica which showed the dad penguins taking care of the egg while the mom penguins made a long trek to the ocean to eat in the coldest winter. O and I agreed that it is normal for dads to take care of babies, and we are glad that her dad does such a good job of that. Someday she may meet a family of two dads and a little boy or girl. We hope they will all be good friends!
Cousin Maddie will read the book when she comes this summer and will also review it here.

I recently read this book to my two young children and was both shocked and disgusted to discover it on the banned list. I think it is a beautiful story which could open up the discussion of same sex relationships if you choose too or it could just be seen as a nice story. some times people analyse things far too deeply as Sigmund Freud once said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"

This just makes me sad. The book isn't about sex one way or the other, and it's the penguin FATHER (the male) who hatches and raises the baby penguin. Why is it wrong to show a DADDY being a daddy?
