Mom of Twins

I have given this book to both the preschool and kindergarten classes of my twin boys on their birthdays. Their teachers appreciate this book with great photos and captions. Many schools suggest sharing books rather than treats on special days. This book helps classmates look at twins as individuals and not a matched set, answers common questions, and opens discussions of single vs twins, and siblings vs twins.

Invaluable for helping twins, siblings, friends & family.

There are plenty of books about twins for adult readers; this appeals to young picturebook readers with a photo-filled account of twins and their differences and similarities. This much-needed book is a 'must' for any collection seeking family-oriented books: it helps siblings understand the different possibilities and personalities of twins.

About Twins

It is a charming book with beautiful photo illustrations. It carries a very simple but important message that even very young children can enjoy. It is my very favorite picture book about twins.
