The controversy surrounding the book, while expected by the authors and editor, was much greater than any member of the creative team expected. As they continued their creative process, they found an editor who was capable of bringing a talented illustrator on board and supporting the team's collaboration. The results of my analyses of interviews revealed that the creation of "And Tango Makes Three" began as a personal endeavor of the authors. Finally, I identified indicators of quality as noted by professional reviewers. Additionally, I analyzed the work "And Tango Makes Three" itself through multiple approaches: general textual and visual criteria analysis, descriptive analysis (following Marantz, 1992), text-picture relationship analysis (following Sipe, 1998), and an analysis identifying primary and secondary multicultural evaluative criteria, as well as Queer evaluative criteria (Day, 2000). Following an approach informed by Huberman and Miles (1994), I reduced the interviews through transcription and member checking before coding them for data display and drawing conclusions. To achieve these goals, I interviewed four members of the creative team: the two authors, the illustrator, and the editor. Additionally, I sought to understand the creative process, as well as how the creative team anticipated and initially received the controversy surrounding the book. In this descriptive case study, I examined this picture book through multiple analyses. "And Tango Makes Three," the true story of two male penguins who hatch and raise a chick in New York City's Central Park Zoo, is one such picture book that has received not only critical acclaim, but also more challenges than any other book in America for three years in a row (2006-2008). Correspondingly, the number of challenges to these books has also increased.
