This book is wonderful, and has many thought provoking interviews with twins. The one thing that should be aware of (before you hand over this book to an independent reader) is the discussion of twins where one sister or brother has died and the feelings of the living twin, the loss felt for the remainder of their lives. It is a valid discussion point but if you are not expecting it, the way in which it is presented may be a bit much for a sensitive child. I like the book but wish that I had read it before I purchased it, I do not consider it an appropriate gift for a younger child.
Informative

This book was very informative and will be helpful to any child who wants to learn more about twins. There is a large variety of information and it is presented with a lot of illustrations that will help keep kids interested.
Wonderful book to share with your twins
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is perfect for sharing with your twins when they are children to help them understand their special gift, or if you have other children who will soon have twin brothers or sisters. I think it would also be enjoyable and informative if you are a grandparent, teacher or other who interacts with twins. It gives a delightful, easy-to-read overview of twins and answers all the questions one might have if they know little about these special people. I thought the layout of the book, the photographs and information was perfect for this target audience. I highly recommend this book. I have passed it around to my entire family and everyone loved it. Buy this book!
