(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ros Asquith. This chatty, informative survey covers all the bases, from families formed by birth and adoption to foster and blended families. Same-sex and single parents are represented in the friendly cartoon art and text; mixed-race families are depicted in the illustrations. The tone is light, though Hoffman acknowledges that things don't always "go smoothly." A teddy bear appears on most spreads, adding its own commentary.
