I now have the book in hand. I was slightly incorrect - the summary is on the inside front flap. It says:
“In the zoo there are all kinds of animal familes. But Tango’s family is not like any of the others.”
Back cover has quotes from reviewers:
“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 Lithgow.
So plenty of hints, but nothing that comes out and states the central theme of the book. Roy and Silo don’t make an appearance until page 7.
FWIW, I’ll offer to read it to my 4 year old again this weekend. She may turn it down though - she has little patience with books she’s already seen.

My memory wasn’t too far off. I remembered copy somewhere on the book that basically used code words like “non-traditional family” and its very clear in code that this book is about Hot Gay Penguin Sex (Harvey Fierstein “mother nature knows best” yeah).

I’m not. And until Jman showed up, neither was anyone else in this thread.

Okay. But may I ask you to eplain why you told me to fuck off? Or do you mean by mentioning Jman that you meant that comment for him?
I’m just worried I pissed you off. If I did, it was inadvertent.

Yes, teaching this is RELIGION is ok, BUT don’t at any rate teach the LOVE story of Jesus Christ dieing for sinners to save someone from the penalty of GRAVITY.

Gravity?
