Tilly and Lizzie are identical twins so far as appearance is concerned but, like many siblings, totally differ in character. Throughout the book, which is thoughtfully divided into chapters just the right length for beginning readers, we learn about the twins, how they do share certain things, and how they patch things up after a quarrel. Heap’s illustrations match the story exactly, and I look forward to hearing more about the twins in due course. The book should find itself to be equally at home in a school, library, or bedroom.
