I thought the book was very sweet and caring for ANY family to enjoy. I am offended by the previous review which stated that homosexuals "target" families. Keep your stereotypes to yourself because homosexual families are no longer "unacceptable". Parents should welcome the chance to introduce these kinds of concepts to their children- they will probably encounter them more and more often in school anyway. This book makes a lovely companion to the equally wonderful And Tango Makes Three.

Felicia's Favorite Story is a gentle paperback by the author of "Heather Has Two Mommies," about a young girl who loves to be told how she was adopted by Mama Nessa and Mama Linda, and both her mamas loved her from the moment they lay eyes on her. Felicia's Favorite Story is a lovely and warm picture book illustrated by Adriana Romo and written by Leslea Newman especially for young children in alternative families.

I think the text of the book is fine but I think the drawings are horrific. My apologies to the author but I do not think any women - straight or gay - really look like this and it just doesn't translate to my children at all

I liked the book- it is useful for helping children accept there are alternative families. I think it is important for children who DO NOT come from families like that to read them as much as it is for adopted ones. I wish the names mama linda and mama nessa did not come up so many times it becomes a little repetitive - especially since reading to children requires reading out loud and not to ones self you find your self repeating mama nessa and mama linda too many times. It would be nice if this could be edited for the next edition.
