I liked the pictures, the language, and the story. I read some reviews that said this story isn't realistic, but I've known families exactly like this. One parent helps in one way while the other parent helps in another. This is the case when it comes to a mom and dad instead of two dads or two moms. Everyone brings different strengths and skills to a relationship, and the thing both parents bring is love. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this |

interesting idea of the characters "legs", you immediately remember your childhood and "tom and jerry" (and, relatively recent release, "onward", also with queer rep). the cover is very jarring, the colors are just terrible, although in the rest of the book they are fine. it's awkward that I had to read the work in "digital editions". too much trouble: you download the app, the file, open it, and it starts to glitch when you zoom in (because the font is too small to read on a phone) and then it doesn't flip well. i would have preferred to use the convenient "netgalley" and "kindle", not THIS. |

A Tale of Two Daddies by Vanita Oelschlager is a wonderful story about a little girl who has two daddies and the little girl tries to explain to another child about how much she loves both her dads. |

I’m so glad there is authors who are writing about this important subject, this book was so well writing and touching, I’m sure is going to help a lot of kids! I will definitely recommend not only for kids with two dads but for every kid. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy. |

Absolutely love the illustrations. Beautiful well told story! Gorgeous💗✨ Thank you for the Advanced Readers Copy! |

Sometimes I wonder if children's books pack more punch than most adult novels??? This one sure does. Coz even after handling such a sensitive subject, this is truly beautiful but isn't preachy or heavy, just perfect for young kids. This handles same sex marriages in such a perfect way that it will normalise every stigma around it. It is just full of love and comfort like warm hugs on a cold winter day. It's definitely an important book to teach our kids. Just read it already. Thank you Netgalley and Vanita Oelschlager for this wonderful book. |

This is a great children's story about the way life works when you have two daddies. A little girl and boy are chatting on the playground. One has lots of questions about what the family looks like when there are two male parents. Who cleans grazed knees, who makes breakfast, who coaches soccer, who tucks you in at night. This was a lovely story. Thank you to Netgalley for providing the ARC copy. These are my honest thoughts. |

This is an amazingly well-written book for children that breaks the stereotypes of "mommy" duties vs "daddy" duties while also showing how parents in a same-sex relationship can easily parent a child no differently than anyone else. |

First off, I think this should be a must-read for every child whether they have heterosexual parents or same-sex parents. I just loved everything about it!! The message that not all families are the same and that's ok is definitely a message needed for today. Not all children understand why some kids have two mommies or two daddies, so this easy-to-understand book will answer those questions. |

I simply LOVED this book ! How simple it is written and do the job so well ! I think every school, library and every place kids are shoulds have this book ! |

Precious picture book aimed for children between the ages of 4 and 8. This book is written as a conversation between two children. The one child has two dads. This is a sweet little book that teaches that families come in all shapes, sizes and genders. Some families have a mom and a dad, while other may have two daddies. This book teaches that no only is that okay it is also beautiful. As always thanks to the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review |

A Tale of Two Daddies introduces us to a little girl who has two dads, Poppa and Daddy. It shows that, just like any kid lucky enough to have two parents in their life, the two dads have different strengths and tend to different interests and chores. But just like any other kid with two loving parents, both dad's share a lot of responsibilities, too. More and more kids are growing up in what are often considered non-traditional families, and this just shows the beauty of a kid with two loving parents. ❤️ This is a must-have for libraries and schools to help broaden kids' horizons! [Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!] |

As a member of the LGBTQIAP+ community, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for The Tale of Two Mommies and Daddies book. This book beautifully portrays the loving and caring nature of all parents, regardless of their gender. Vanita Oelschlager has done an exceptional job in emphasizing that parents, regardless of their gender, can be there for their children unconditionally. I also want to extend my appreciation to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book, allowing me the opportunity to experience its heartfelt message before its official release. Overall, The Tale of Two Mommies and Daddies is an important and inclusive book that not only celebrates diverse family structures but also reinforces the idea that love knows no boundaries. It is a much-needed addition to children's literature and a valuable resource for teaching young readers about the beauty of all types of families. |

This was a very sweet book. I have to be honest, it isn’t my favourite on the topic of two daddies, but I think there’s definitely an audience! For me, I just need my rhyming books to scan with a bit more consistency to be honest. |

I would like to thank you for the ARC of this book which the publisher kindly provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. "A Tale of Two Daddies" by Vanita Oelschlager is an incredibly heartwarming and cute children's book that beautifully celebrates diverse families. Through its charming story, it effortlessly normalizes and embraces the concept of having two dads. |

I received a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley. I love the sentiment of this book. Who does your braids? who helps when your afraid? Does it really matter if it's Poppa or Daddy? As long as someone is there to do the job. The pictures were great too. I hope this book gets in to the hands of lots of children - especially those with "different" families. |

This was a cute book that represented a child with two dads really well, in a way that was easy for my 4 year old to understand and not question. Daddies have the same roles as a mommy and daddy would in a household, and that's a great thing for kids to learn and see. I would have liked to hear maybe the kid asking all the questions saying who does the things in HIS family or something like that, to help them seem more clearly relatable ("my daddy takes me to swim class!" "My daddy does that too!" sort of thing) but otherwise this is a nice addition to any kids bookshelf. |

I was hoping for a little bit more depth to this book than what was presented. I was hoping for more of a conversation, something more profound to help children be introduced to and understand the LGBTQIA community like other picture books I’ve read. However, this book read as a long list: “who helps you do this? Papa does.” It wasn’t really groundbreaking or held my interest at all. |

A sweet book about a small girl who grows up in a family with two dads. She explains to her friend which dad helps her with specific things, as he keeps asking questions. It's cute and a nice read with kids. |

A very very sweet and heartwarming book with great representation. I felt very warm and fuzzy while reading this! |
