Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but this book rubs me the wrong way. Having an adopted sister and knowing many adoptive families, the emphasis that you should look like your parents for them to be your parents is a little much. The cow tells the bird, "How could I be your mother?" Well, why can't you be his mother? I have a friend whose father is black and mother is white and when her parents split, she spent the rest of her childhood listening to people question whether or not she was "really" her mother's daughter. Sometimes even biological families don't look alike.

This book made my sister so sad. She seriously cried! She was also like four years old. ;)

Preschool says the kiddo read this book 4 times in one day with them. I'm going to buy the kindle version for him to help deal with being away from family while at preschool.
There are several aspects of the story I have not liked in the past and therefore did not read it to C, but I'll re-evaluate after I read it again.
