## Reader notes

### Disappointment

The title in no way comes close to describing different families. If your a male and a female with a house that seems to be the "typical family" this book refers to . There is no hint of diversity.

### Disappointing

I found this book to be a real disappointment. While the words "all kinds of families" seem to open up a world of possibilities, the pictures tell a different story. Yes, the families may be black or white, old or young, married or divorced, or even include someone who is in jail. HOWEVER - the pictures almost always show an adult male and an adult female. As a single mother of two children, both of whom came to me through donor insemmination, I do not feel that this book sends an inclusive message to families that do not include a father figure.

### A great book for family studies

I use this book all the time in my preschool classroom. It does an excellent job of presenting traditional and non-traditional families in a positive light. My students love it, and thats the best recommendation I can give.
