Resumen:
Tomado de la solapa: "In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others.
Tomado del Author's note: "All of the events in this story are true. Roy and Silo are called chinstrap penguins because of the delicate line of black feathers that loops under their beaks, as if to hold a hat in place. After years of living side by side in the Central Park Zoo, they discovered each other in 1998 and they have been a couple ever since. Tango, their only chick, was born from an egg laid by another pinguin couple named Betty and Porkey. That couple had often hatched their own eggs, but they had never been able to care for more than one at a time. In 2000, when Betty laid two fertile eggs, Rob Gramzay decided to give Roy, Silo and one of those eggs a chance to become a family. If you go to the Central Park Zoo, you can see Tango and her parents splashing about in the penguin house along with their friends, including Nipper, Squawk, Charlie, Wasabi, and Piwi. There are forty-two chinstrap penguins in the Central Park Zoo, but there is only one Tango.
Tomado de la contraportada: "A touching and delightful variation on a major theme". Maurice Sendak. -- "This wonderful story of devotion is heartwarming proof that Mother Nature knows best". Harvey Fierstein. -- "Charming! and Tango makes three proves that all kinds of love can create a family." Wendy Wasserstein. -- "A little miracle for children. Funny, tender, and true, the story of Tango will delight young readers and open their minds". John Lightgow. --
