The Family Book by Todd Parr

The Family Book by Todd Parr is one that I just finished reading for my second set of annotated bibliographies. It is a book about all different types of families such as single parent, two moms, two dads, bi-racial, step parents, big families, small families, families that live close together, families that live far apart and adopted children. It talks about how although families are different they still love each other, help each other and are happy or sad when certain things happen. The book also includes animals, bright colors and, kid handwriting and is funny, all of which will definitely keep little kids intersted. I would definitely recommend this book to be read to little children to show them diversity and that all families are not the same.

Why?

One of the books I read for my annotated bibliography was Why? by Lila Prap. I loved this book and thought it was adorable. It's for preschool/kindergarten aged students and each page has a question about an animals such as why lions have manes or why kangaroos have pouches then it gives a silly answer and a joke answer and on the side it gives the real scientific reason. I think this book is so cute and children will really be engaged because it's funny and tells jokes but they will also learn a lot about animals from it because of the explanations. I recommend this book to anyone reading to young children.
