Title: Good story, but too preachy
Review: If you want to indocrinate your children with the message of "tolerance" (i.e., nothing is wrong or immoral), then this is the book for you. If you instead love all types of people but do not accept that everything they do is perfect, then this book is NOT for you. The gay overtones in this book are quite heavy, especially when the author writes that the two male penguins "must be in love."This book presents homosexual relationships as healthy and a good environment for rearing children - it's dangerous to indoctrinate your kids with these false notions. Tolerance is good and it is a virtue, but acceptance is not. I can tolerate immoral behavior, but I don't have to accept it, and this book overtly and needlessly glorifies the idea of homosexuality.Since the book was written, the penguin couple has split-up; Silo left his male companion for Scrappy, a female penguin. This too tests our acceptance and is a testimony to diversity. Will there be a follow-up book?
