Weird Parents, by Audrey Wood
I brought this book in to my kindergarten practicum class to have a little boy do a sample miscue analysis for me. I gave him a selection to choose from which included Piggies (which I thought he would choose since it was a little easier to read) and he selected Weird Parents. This book is about a little boy whose parents do some pretty goofy things that tend to embarrass the little boy from time to time, but he still loves them even with their quirks.
I thought this was kind of an ironic book that the little boy selected. We did a picture walk beforehand, and this was the winner in his eyes. However, I really didn't think about it until we started reading; he has two mommies! I thought it was a great selection, because although there is NOTHING wrong with his home situation and having two mommies, this book strengthens the point that no matter what our parents are our parents and we love them unconditionally. I do really think that this was a great book selection for him to try to read, and he really really enjoyed it.
