Cute story about penguins at the Central Park Zoo and how two males end up raising a chick. The illustrations weren't anything special but the story was simple and straightforward enough to teach young children about homosexuality and different types of families. Even if the penguins aren't really gay, it's still a great way introduce the idea. My only major complaint was the heavy-handedness of presenting the penguins as "in-love". As an adult reading the story, the end-goals for the book are really obvious. Still, I'd have no problem reading it for story-time or in a classroom to teach about family types.

I love that this historical fiction has a foundation of truth. To think a small town would willingly close itself off from the world to prevent the spread of plague is a true wonder.

A critical analysis of Senator Edward Kennedy's political career, leading up to and following the death of Mary Jo Kopechne on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969. From the very introduction of this book, it is obvious that Sherrill is not an admirer of the Kennedy clan. Sherrill details the activities of politicians and local officials of Dukes County, Massachusetts, following the accident in which Kopechne died in Kennedy's car following a party on the island. From the facts presented, it would appear that the local law enforcement officials acted neglegently in investigating the discrepencies between available evidence and accounts told by Kennedy and his fellow partiers. Of particular interest to me was the fact that my vague recollection of the details seems not to have been because of my memory failure over time, but more because there were so many questions that were never resolved at that time. This book came to my reading list via the bibliography of The Kennedys by Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner.
