Review by Sandra Horning
Many families with twins may already have a copy of this book, but for those just beginning their journey, Twin to Twin is a book to add to your must read list. It’s great for preparing an older sibling (of toddler age) for the arrival of twin siblings. And it’s a great early read aloud for young twins themselves.
The text rhymes and rolls gently from page to page, as the charming cartoon artwork shows a set of twins in their early years, learning to walk, eat, bathe, play and sleep together. The red-headed twins in the story are different genders and look very similar, but you can tell them apart (the bows help), just like real twins!
It’s clear that twins do all the things other babies do, but they learn to do these things together with twice the fun. The double hard work for parents is not forgotten as the twins have double messy diapers and double tantrums too. Of course, it all ends happily with double love!
Ages 1 – 5.
