Sweet story

Our daughter has asked us to read this book many times. It's cute, sweet and funny and very simple to understand. She's 3 so she probably doesn't get the point--parents don't have to look like their children to love them--but she enjoys the different animal characters and sings/plays along as I read it to her.

Choco story

I think this is a simple and lovely story. My daughter is 4 years old and adopted from China. She liked it a lot. It gets the message across that it's love and relationships that make a family and not necessarily looks, but without being in your face about it. I recommend it.

love love love it !

This is an awesome book about adoption and is a great way to introduce all children to the diversity of families. I've bought this book for nieces, nephews and neighbors in preparation for my daughter entering our family through adoption. It's been a big hit!

We Love This Book!

Another great book to help explain adoption, particularly transracial adoption, to very young children.

Little Choco is all alone in the world. God only knows what happened to his first mother. In any event, he's looking for a mother who looks just like him, but alas, cannot find one. Mrs. Giraffe doesn't have wings, Mrs. Penguin doesn't have plump cheeks, Mrs. Walrus doesn't have striped blue feet. He sees Mrs. Bear picking apples and he KNOWS she can't be his mother because she looks nothing like him. He starts to cry and lo and behold, Mrs. Bear mothers him. She kisses him just like a mother would, she hugs him just like a mother would, she cheers him up by singing and dancing with him, just like a mother would. Eventually, she invites him home for some apple pie. Turns out, she has some other children, a baby hippo ("hippy") and a baby alligator ("allie"). Choco decides to stay for apple pie and more, happy that his new mother looks just the way she is.

Great book.

My 2 year old really likes this book. We bought the board book so she could play with it as much as she likes, and it doesn't get destroyed. We sometimes substitute words, so that it reads as "A Father For Choco"; we like to highlight both mom and dad (it works for us!).
