Overview / 简介: |
With irresistible, rollicking rhyme, beloved picture book author Mary Ann Hoberman shows readers that families, large and small, are all around us. From celery stalks to bottle caps, buttons, and rings, the objects we group together form families, just like the ones we are a part of. And, as we grow up, our families grow, too.
Mary Ann Hoberman gives readers a sense of belonging in this all-inclusive celebration of families and our role in them. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 3—Hoberman has tackled the elusive question of what makes a family a family in this sometimes silly, sometimes serious book of rhymes. She likens families to numerous items that share a relationship and are inherently the same. Her refrain says it all, "Bottle caps, gingersnaps, buttons, or rings/You can make families from all sorts of things!" Other families include tools, balloons, thimbles, and marbles, but the verses make it clear that human families are much more than a conglomeration of like, easily categorized, things; they share a human history and the promise of many more families to come. No matter what, making a family is about seeing the likenesses, not the differences. Boutavant provides colorful illustrations that vary from page to page, but as a group, complement the rhymes. Pair this with Jusin Richardson and Peter Parnell's And Tango Makes Three (S & S, 2005), Arnold Adoff's Black Is Brown Is Tan (HarperCollins, 2002); Nancy Coffelt's Fred Stays with Me! (Little, Brown, 2007), and Remy Charlip's A Perfect Day (HarperCollins, 2007) to introduce the idea that, indeed, there are all kinds of families.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

| Reviewed by Cayden (age 5) and Max (age 3) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (10/09)
"All Kinds of Families!" explores many different kinds of "families" like eggs in a carton and chalk for a blackboard.
Cayden: "I think everything has a family but I didn't know that before! Everything that is the same in a group is a family like all of the pencils, or the sticks, or silverware. I liked the pictures in the book. There were a lot of different things to look at. My favorite part was when all of the things were on shelves and I found all of the families."
Max: "I liked the page with the moon and the stars. They are a family the book said. I liked the tree house picture. I wish we had one of those!"
Parent's comments:
"All Kinds of Families!" by Mary Ann Hoberman is a creative book showing the relationships among different items and of actual human families. The illustrations were fun and complemented the text nicely. I like books that make my children think and this was definitely one of them!
