Not the Best sequel to a beloved book, but still fun.
By Bryan F. Irrera on September 6, 2005
Format: Hardcover
While I would have preferred a more straightforward way for them to find a child (or perhaps for the orphan that the two Kings find to be a baby instead of a child since to me it seemed more like she was a runaway), this is still a worthy addition to this series.

I bought this for my "niece" (our friend's child who refers to my partner and I as "Uncle Paul and Uncle Bryan") for her third birthday, since she's enjoyed the first book for the past year as one of her more frequently requested "night-night" storytime books (along with the Curious George series and "The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish" by Neil Gaiman).

The illustrations are fantastic paintings with lots of colorful images of various animals and their children throughout a tropical environment that the Kings see on their honeymoon.

I would recommend it to any parent with an open mind.

Not Worth Reading
By PrintedWords on August 12, 2012
Format: Hardcover
I was sorely disappointed in King & King & Family. Readers will have no emotional connection to this story. There isn't any plot; it's just a hodgepodge of ideas and cute illustrations. It's not worth buying. If you're looking for great children's books about family diversity, particularly ones involving homosexuality, I advise "And Tango Makes Three" (true story about two male penguins adopting an egg), "The Family Book" (guidance), "Saturday is Pattyday" (about parent's separating), or "The Daddy Machine" (goofy) instead.

Fun Adventure with Neat Drawings
By ayaka on May 3, 2010
Format: Hardcover
This is one of my favorite children's books. It is a fun adventure tale with very cool drawings.

In response to some criticism that the princess in the story is not acquired properly, I would just say that it is a fairy tale! Not everything has to be real. And they do send in the proper paperwork, so some attempt is made to show you don't just get to keep children you find in the jungle without telling anyone.

Since my children have a very traditional looking family I think it's nice for them to grow up knowing ours isn't the only option. One thing about the drawings (which I do love), though, is they are very complex for very little kids. My son finds them more interesting as he gets older. I recommend this book for gay and straight families alike.

Not Worthwhile
By A Customer on April 7, 2004
Format: Hardcover
A very disappointing sequel. The tile implies that it will be about the Kings' creating a family, but most of the book focuses on their honeymoon. When the Kings' return from their travels they find a child who hid out in their luggage - then they proceed to adopt her (how about a search for her bio parents?). This book is fuel to the right wing fire and doesn't represent any of the creative ways LGBT people have created families.

Very disappointed
By T. Hope Mcgonigle on January 29, 2011
Format: Hardcover
We hate this book and are getting rid of it. We thought it would be great - two dads adopting a kid. What could be better? It actually reads more like 2 dads stealing a child from the jungle. Yuck!
