4.0 out of 5 stars Genuine and well written, September 6, 2001

This review is from: Is Your Family Like Mine (Paperback)

"Is Your Family Like Mine" is a very good family book for 4-7 year olds. Even though the main character is a girl, my six year old son wants to read it every night before going to bed. He enjoys seeing other families like his own (two moms). I appreciate authors, like Lois Abramchik, who are able to present realistic family life without forcing ideas upon the reader and avoid giving so much detail that the story line does not flow.

The story is simple and repetitive, time and time again stating that Love is what makes a family. Whether you have a mom and dad, two moms, just a dad and siblings... love is what makes all families the same. I highly recommend this book for children who are beginning school. School is when children really begin to notice family differences. This book may help reinforce in their minds how much they are loved and that they are no different from any other family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love makes a family - one of the best showing a 2 mom family, November 7, 1999

This review is from: Is Your Family Like Mine (Paperback)

I think this is one of the best books available about two mom familes. It is very accessible and age appropriate for children -- emphasizing that love is what makes a family. Shows a diversity of families in a multicultural setting. Reading level is really more like 4 - 8 as the main character is a kindergartener.
