And Tango Makes Three


Richardson, J. and Parnell, P. (2005). And Tango Makes Three.Illustrator: Henry Cole. New York: Simon & Schuster Book for Yong Readers.

Brief Annotation: A charming story based on two male penguins in the New York Zoo that developed a friendship so close that the zookeepers gave them a fertilized egg, which later hatched into a penguin they named Tango. This story is about families and how a “family” is defined differently. “Family” means love and these two penguins show the love they have for one another and for Tango.

Genre: Storybook

Grade Level: Pre K-2

Readers who will like this: Readers who enjoy a charming story of love, devotion and family. Readers who enjoy stories about animals.

Response/Rating (1-4): 4. I love how this book tells a true story in delicate illustrations of the love and bond that two male penguins had for one another.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: What do you think the word “family” means? How is your family different from other families?
