| - And Tango Makes Three is a 2005 children's book written by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson and illustrated by Henry Cole. The book is based on the true story of Roy and Silo, two male penguins in New York's Central Park Zoo who for a time formed a couple. The book follows part of this time in the penguin's lives. This book teaches children that it's okay to be in or know someone who has an alternative family, not the "traditional" family. The pair were observed trying to hatch a rock that resembled an egg. When zookeepers realized that Roy and Silo were both male, it occurred to them to give them the second egg of a mixed-sex penguin couple, a couple which had previously been unable to successfully hatch two eggs at once. Roy and Silo hatched and raised the healthy young chick, a female named "Tango" by keepers, together as a family. The penguins in the book are Chinstrap Penguins.
