Two Times the Fun

My 2.5 year olds love these four stories. They are a little long to read all the way through in one sitting at this age. I skip some parts and shorten others in order to get through faster. But my kids love these four stories about Jimmy and Janet, 4 year old twins. They are wonderfully written and so true to twin-life. I did not know this until I bought the book, but author Beverly Cleary had boy/girl twins herself and I guess that's why she "nailed" it so well. I'm sure we will enjoy these stories for years to come. P.S. The book has some pictures/illustrations but is mostly text -- it's not a picture book. The pictures do help my toddlers understand what's going on as I can point to the appropriate thing as I tell the story.

My third graders enjoyed reading this book. They identified with the twins adventures and the dymanics of a sibling the same age.
