Les gentils parents de Renée feraient tout pour son bonheur. Ils lui construisent une maison pour rire et une étable pour rire. Bientôt, Renée demande une vache puis un tracteur pour rire, et les obtient aussi. Mais lorsqu'elle demande un papa et une maman pour rire, elle découvre à ses dépens qu'il n'y a rien de mieux qu'une famille... pour vrai!

Rene's parents are as nice as can be. When Rene asks her father to build her a playhouse, her father says "good idea," and builds her one. When Rene tells her mother that her playhouse needs a play barn, Rene gets that too! But before long Rene wants a play cow, a play tractor -- even a play mommy and play daddy. When her mother refuses to build her a play mommy and a play daddy she decides to make her own. But when she finds that her parents have replaced her with a play Rene, she quickly realizes that REAL families are the best of all.
