Reviews

"This sweet and interesting early reader board book echoes of the famed Shakespeare's query. What is in a name Whether geese are found in gaggles or dolphins in pods, a family by any other name is still as warm and loving! From A to Z, children will learn the many ways family is called to be. (Ages 2-5)"
-Darleen Wohlfeil, Reviewer,Midwest Book Review

Annette Griffin has created an educational and adorable book for children. It's a must-have for every child's bookshelf. I love how she teaches us about different animal families while reminding us that every family is different and very special.
