Illustrated by
Marc Boutavant.
Hoberman's jaunty, galloping rhyme explains how all kinds of objects--not just people and animals--can be organized into groups, or families: "Bottle caps, gingersnaps, buttons, or rings / You can make families from all sorts of things!" In the inventive illustrations, Boutavant puts amusing faces on inanimate objects; his detailed, digitally created pictures invite readers to spot families not mentioned in the rhyme.
