- A Family Like Yours,
by Rebecca Kai
Dotlich, illustrated by Tammie Lyon
- Boyds Mills Press, 2002
-
- Here's a rhyming celebration
of families, each special and honored in their own way. Dotlich's
clever text and Lyon's lively illustrations cover a myriad of
households, including proper royal couples, and families who
"talk in a whisper" or "bellow about":
-
-
- Families are different
- They have different styles
- Some walk very proper
- Some skip down the aisles.
-
- Readers jump from human families
to cute animals and back again. Dotlich highlights differences
in an energetic, playful style, which leads readers to the simple
truth of every family:
-
- There are zillions of families
- In cities.
- On shores.
- But the one that just fits
is a family like yours!
