From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
PreSchool-A superficial glimpse at a day in the life of two young siblings and their parents. The twins are introduced in the following manner: "One baby,/baby two./Baby. Baby./We love you!" Neither the text nor the artwork (except for a variation in clothing and hairstyle) creates any sense that these children are individuals. At times, the story seems disjointed. For example, after listing some of the children's possessions, the author describes how the twins play outdoors: "Two babies swinging. Up. Down. Up./Two brown bunnies. One white duck." Shown walking in front of the swings, these animals seem to appear out of the blue, without any visual or verbal explanation to clarify why they are there. Done in airbrushed acrylic paints, the illustrations are a bit flat. Collage elements, such as knitted textures and a paisley material, highlight the family's clothing and add a bit of interest. At times, a character or an object is shown in white silhouette, a choice that seems a bit stark in comparison to the warm colors used for the rest of the artwork. For a slightly older audience, Shelley Rotner and Sheila Kelly's About Twins (DK Ink, 1999) has an accessible text and irresistible photos to present a much more intriguing look at the family life of multiples.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Charlotte Doyle's book, illustrated by Julia Gorton, focused beautifully on the concept of twins but also indicated that the 2 children were individuals. They tussled over the teddy bear but came together when they lost the ice cream cones, and when they enjoyed the swing and the bath. The book is a good learning tool focusing on counting (one/two) and colors (white/blue).
It's like a musical piece - overture, fast and slow movements, resolving in a tender lullaby with two sleepy heads. Perfect for reading before bed.
