When a little cheetah named Tango, finds a lost teddy bear, he strikes out to help find its family. As he searches, he brings early readers on an adventure through the African plains to see the different kinds of families that live there.

 

He finds families with stripes, families with long necks, and even families with slippery skin. But he doesn't find any families that look like the teddy. Just as Tango begins to worry he may never find the teddy's family, he finds a wise creature who tells him that you don't need to look alike to be a family. All you need is to love and care about each other.
