(You see this coming, don't you!)
I wouldn't have bothered with this piece of propaganda, except that it was on display at our public library, so I picked it up. A picture book targeted at young children, it is, very simply, a mediocre run at normalizing homosexuality. The story line is predictable, the illustrations attractive, but of average quality, and the message clear--we will all get along fine if we just accept any kind of behavior as normal. Parents! Take your kids to the library often, but please don't turn them loose, unattended, even in what should be the safe area of picture books. (You might find them curled up with one of Judith Vigna's other titles--My Big Sister Takes Drugs; I Wish Daddy Didn't Drink So Much; She's Not my Real Mother; Saying Goodbye to Daddy; or Mommy and Me By Ourselves Again. (I'm not making these up!)
