From Booklist:
K-Gr. 3. The third book in the Growing Up Stories series, following Hello Benny! (2002) and Go! Go! Maria! (2003), features two-year-old African American twins as they go about the business of being toddlers: trying to do things on their own, sampling new words like "footsies," "socksies," and "no," and beginning to learn how to use a potty. Acknowledging that there's some truth to the phrase "terrible twos," Harris calmly explores the reasons toddlers act the way they do--and also what it means to be a twin--in informative paragraphs interspersed throughout the story narrative. Tantrums and incessant questions can be exasperating, but the empathic approach depicted here will go a long way toward smoothing the ride for everyone. Emberley's colorful watercolor, pastel, and ink drawings bring the twins to exuberant life; whether throwing a tantrum, running around bare-bottomed, or playing, these two Everykids show realistically, yet cheerfully, just what it's like to be two. A great book to help older brothers and sisters understand what's going on with their younger sibs. Diane Foote
