PreSchool-K–In this autobiographical story, readers meet two siblings who are nothing alike. Simon loves to eat and always cleans his plate, but Charlotte would rather suck her thumb and daydream. Even when the twins share a common interest, they take their own approach. Both love books–Simon looks at the pictures, while Charlotte enjoys enhancing the pages with a few pictures of her own. When they take their toys for a stroll, Charlotte pushes the baby carriage gently, but Simon propels it forward with a jolt, ejecting a doll and stuffed animal. Despite their differences, however, they like each other just the way they are. The lithesome watercolor-and-ink illustrations are amusing and consistently expand the simple text. The twins and the objects they play with are drawn with thick lines embellished with splashes of vivid paint, and the large images fill the pages. The heavy cream-colored paper makes a cozy backdrop for the action, and the book's clean design keeps attention focused on the endearing characters and their relationship. A charming addition to the oeuvre of twin tales that focuses on individuality as well as unity. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
My twins love this book. The illustrations are colorful and cheery and the text actually fits them well. This is the first book about girl-boy twins that I have encountered, and since people frequently refer to my twins as "The Twins", they were instantly interested in a book called "Hello Twins".
While there is little character development and the text is simplistic, the book does cover a wide range of activities that toddlers can relate to (building towers, knocking them down, staring out the window). It does a good job capturing the everyday activities of toddlers (twin toddlers!). In effect, the book is less about Simon and Charlotte and more about what they do. So, the underlying message and conclusion about them loving each other despite their differences is not really supported throughout the text in a meaningful way.
It is always fun to find a book that applies to your own children. So, I really enjoy it. That said, I do not know if this book would be as interesting for parents of singletons (unless, of course, they were purchasing it for a friend who has twins of their own). |
