Review Detail

In this charming little book, a compilation of poetry about twindom, there are many little facts about twins interwoven with the various musings, sonnets, and poetic stories about twins. I have a good friend who is a twin, and it is neat to read about what sibling-hood is like when you share so much, so intimately, with a twin. Although some poems are lovely and enjoyable, others leave something to be desired.

The illustrations are the best part. Though not twins, my daughters have both enjoyed reading this book together immensely. I think the pictures are what draws them--fascinating doubles of each little baby, child, or adult.

I think this is an interesting book for anyone, but would recommend it as a gift for anyone who is going to have or already has twins.
