Families, Families, Families!

Author: Suzanne LangIllustrator: Max Lang

What a lot of different kinds of families!  There are families with lots of children and those with only one; there are one-parent families and families with two dads or two mums; there are children who live with grandparents or with aunties or who ‘bunk with their cousins’.  There are married parents and unmarried parents and parents who adopt children, not forgetting, of course, step-families.  And so it goes!  In this laugh-out-loud picture book we meet combinations of families we’ve never even thought about before, and they can include anything and anyone just so long as they love each other.  The illustrations are amazing, a combination of pictures in frames hung on very different walls, the pictures are of the different families and their components – all animals!  In comic style, it adds much to the fun.  One can see on the faces just how the members of each family are feeling.  Great fun!
