No matter your size, shape, or pedigree--if you love each other, you are a family Moms, dads, sisters, brothers -- and even Great Aunt Sue -- appear in dozens of combinations, demonstrating all kinds of nontraditional families Silly animals are cleverly depicted in framed portraits, and offer a warm celebration of family love. From School Library JournalPreS-Gr 1--Imagine a house with many rooms, whose walls each have a different color or wallpaper, accenting a family portrait hanging there. On a rustic wooden wall hangs the first portrait--a large family of ducks posing beside a still pond. The next spread shows three pandas in pink vests, much like the pink oriental wallpaper behind them. Each portrait features a gently rhyming line: "Some children live with their grandparents.../and some live with an aunt./Some children have many pets.../and some just have a plant." All of these appealing images demonstrate different ways of being a family. "Some children live with their father./ Some children have two mothers./Some children are adopted./Some have stepsisters and--brothers." The cartoon-style critters contrast pleasantly with more realistic elements--a bamboo plant, a slender ceramic dog, a fat ceramic cat. Families of hippos, tigers, lions, ostriches, and whales join the other family groups in the final spread. The loud-and-clear message is that "if you love each other, then you are a family." And imagine the many children who will be reassured because they have found a portrait of a family they will recognize as their own. A solid choice for most libraries.--Mary Jean Smith, formerly at Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN

Great besides the finish
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These are great. Only thing I wish it would’ve mentioned is they aren’t finished and can give you splinters unlike other shelves. But otherwise, they work for what they needed for, looks great, and easy to assemble for the price. They seem sturdy, but I don’t have much weight on it. Just something to keep from the kiddo

Small shelves, great value
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These shelves were great for an area out of the way, would not be perfect for everyone. Super sturdy and easy to install however the wood seems untreated and still a bit rough. The brackets don’t blend well and seem a bit out of place but these small and light shelves have been great at holding small items. I might not trust them with anything too heavy but they have held anything I tried. Only complaint is that they are a bit on the small side as far as depth goes. Other than that, they are awesome. If the brackets looked more sleek and the wood was stained it would be perfect for anywhere.

Great shelves that look cute and are affordable!
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium, Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly for what I needed them for. I make plushies and needed a way to store and show off the pieces I plan to keep. They were very easy to put together and hang. I did use a laser to make sure everything was nice and straight and also measuring tape to make sure they were evenly placed. Other than that it comes with everything you need to put them together, like a screwdriver. I found the screwdriver to be kind of bad because the tip of it was too soft and after like 8 screws, the tip had no more edges and would just spin. It stripped itself. But that’s okay, I had my own screwdriver. So if you buy these, make sure you have one or else be very careful with the one they give you. Other than that, they are super affordable, cute, easy to hang and look good. In the pictures I added, I am still in the process of organizing the plushies so they do look a little cramped and messy. I figured I would still add them so you get an idea of how they look. I think they look pretty nice and would look even better if I organized my plushies better lol. I def recommend these shelves and I hope this review helps you! :)

Very Nice Looking.

Nice looking. Correct size for small items and small space. Light to hang but not cheap.
