And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell is a story about two male penguins who raise a baby penguin named "Tango". The book sparked controversy because of its implicaitons of homosexuality, the two penguin parents were the same sex. Some parents do not want their kids exposed to homosexuality. However, I think it is good to have books like this out there so that parents can discuss homosexuality with their kids. Children may go to school with kids who have two dads or two moms and this is a book you could use to talk with them about that. I found it even more interesting that this book was based on a true story of two penguins in New York City's Central Park Zoo.
