The Family Book As Interpreted By The Lone Star Niecelet

So...the Cousin Campers were all in bed in a row - the nine-year-old Lone Star Niece, the eight-year-old Lone Star Baby and the five-year-old Lone Star Niecelet.  I was reading The Family Book by Todd Parr as a bedtime story.  I love Todd Parr's bright, quirky picture books with their messages of love and tolerance.  Tonight, the reading went something like this:

Me:  "Some families are big, Some families are small..."

Lone Star Niecelet (LSN):  And some families are rabbits.

Me:  "Some families are the same color, Some families are different colors ..."

LSN:  And some families are skunks.  And some families are fish.

Her comments continued after each double-facing page:

Some families are bears.  Some families are aliens. Some families look like devils.  Some families look like devils' pets. Some fish are alone and they're still happy.  Some families wear wigs...

She's a riot.  Some of her comments matched the book's illustrations quite obviously but some came from way out of nowhere - devils?!  There are no devils in the book!  I surely miss having a preschooler in the house - they make everything so much more hilarious.  And impossibly cute.
