Description

"No matter the predicament, Hurwitz interjects both humor and warmth. Accompanied by illustrations as playful as Arlene and Ilene, this chapter book is a t-winning choice." - Kirkus Reviews Second-graders Arlene and Ilene Kelly are twins - identical twins to be exact - and they love being a pair. But being a twin is not always easy. When a set of triplets comes to school, Arlene and Ilene wonder whether triplets are more special than twins. And when Arlene gets sick and has to visit the hospital, the twins each find out what it's like to be one instead of two. But whether they're together or apart, Arlene and Ilene know they're lucky to have each other.

Reviews

No matter the predicament, Hurwitz interjects both humor and warmth. Accompanied by illustrations as playful as Arlene and Ilene, this chapter book is a t-winning choice for transitional readers who have graduated from Grace Lin's Ling & Ting early readers and enjoyed Hurwitz's previous titles. -Kirkus Reviews [A] a natural step up from Grace Lin's Ling & Ting books. -Publishers Weekly Hurwitz is remarkably gifted at composing kidspecific narratives with ease and grace, and the chapters read more like short stories than successive components of a novel. Warmth and humor pervade the stories, which simply written and yet subtle in their presentation of the girls' experiences. -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books With spot art every few pages, the story should appeal to early chapter-book readers. The sisters are mischievous, but loving, and young readers won't have any trouble keeping up with their escapades. -School Library Journal With Mourning's whimsical, pencil drawings and Hurwitz's short chapters, this book will offer young readers an opportunity to delve into reading novels. It's a sweet and touching tale of siblings and their relationship with each other. -Library Media Connection
