And Tango Makes Three

De: Justin Richardson, Peter Parnell

Narrado por: Neil Patrick Harris

The heartwarming true story of two penguins who create a nontraditional family is now available in a sturdy board book edition.

At the penguin house at the Central Park Zoo, two penguins named Roy and Silo were a little bit different from the others. But their desire for a family was the same. And with the help of a kindly zookeeper, Roy and Silo got the chance to welcome a baby penguin of their very own.

In time for the tenth anniversary of And Tango Makes Three, this Classic Board Book edition is the perfect size for small hands.

Beautiful Book!

I loved it! It tells a cute story! All kids should listen to this book.

Wonderful story

Sweet story about a non traditional family. All they needed was a chance to show they could be a family and the zoo gave them that chance. A nice way to slow kids that loving families come in all shapes and sizes. Neil Patrick Harris is a great narrator. He should narrate more children's books!

Wonderful "Banned" Book!

This story is wonderful and based on real life events. NPH does a great job narrating. It is such a shame it was banned from some schools. I will keep a copy and make sure it gets donated when I pass on so that isn't lost (not that it would). This is my defiance in the act of banning books. Books represent codified knowledge that others have given to the human race, stories like this inspire and teach, even as an adult it gave me pause to consider. Thank you 😊

Amazingly sweet story!

I can not imagine not absolutely loving this book! This story chooses love over judgement! Thank you for sharing this sweet story with the world... And thank you Neil for the great narration.

Lovely true story

If you could sum up And Tango Makes Three in three words, what would they be?

Well loved penguin

What was one of the most memorable moments of And Tango Makes Three?

Giving an unusual "couple" a chance to have what most couples want. A family. I teared up when the egg hatched, and how diligent they were with taking care of Tango.

What does Neil Patrick Harris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His enthusiastic voice and slow reading is perfect for kids to think about what he is saying as he reads the book aloud. I enjoyed the book myself as an adult as well as the kids.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Cry, maybe... I got teary towards the end only because it's a beautiful story. I love that it's a true story, and I feel this book really does help children understand today's society and how some kids might have two parents of the same gender. It was sweet that the care taker let them have an egg, and they were so diligent sitting on that egg and caring for it together.
