Tw-inspiring fiction for beginning readers.--<i><b>Kirkus, starred review</b></i><br><br>Even though this is a short and simple early chapter book, the characters are fully developed and distinct, and children should be encouraged to infer the protagonists' traits. An excellent stand-alone purchase or addition for libraries already familiar with these endearing sisters.--<i><b>School Library Journal</b></i><br><br>Simply written and engaging, the brief stories are well suited to beginning readers...An appealing addition to the Ling & Ting series.--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>These cheerful stories, with their flat, 50's-style illustrations, tell an inescapable truth: twins have to negotiate everything.--<i><b>New York Times Book Review</b></i><br><br>While the book has a sweetly retro feel to it, Ling and Ting's adventures will appeal to contemporary audiences....Let's hope Lin continues to share with readers the further adventures of this dynamic duo.--<i><b>The Horn Book</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Grace Lin</b> is the award-winning and bestselling author and illustrator of <i>Starry River of the Sky</i>, <i>Where the Mountain Meets the Moon</i>, <i>The Year of the Dog</i>, <i>The Year of the Rat</i>, <i>Dumpling Days</i>, and <i>Ling & Ting</i>, as well as pictures books such as <i>The Ugly Vegetables</i> and Caldecott Honor book <i>A Big Mooncake for Little Star</i>.
