review 1: Yum, H.(2011). The twins' blanket. Hong Kong: D&M Publishers Inc. It is a short story about a set of twin girls that share everything. They have shared the same bed and blanket since they were really little. Now they are five years old and too big to share the same blanket/bed. Their mother now thinks that it is time that the girls have twin beds and their own blankets. She takes them to the fabric store to pick out fabric for their new blankets. They pick opposite colors. One picks yellow, the other picks pink. The mother then makes the girls each her own blanket. Each blanket had a piece of the blanket the girls use to share. Finally both blankets are finished and the girls each have their big girl beds. The first night they are both kinda scared even thought their be... moreds are right beside each other. They hold hands and then eventually fall asleep. I rate this book 4/5. It was good, but just a very short story. I also liked the colors in the book. They were bright and grabbed my attention.
review 2: This is a sweet story about twins who have always shared a bed and shared a blanket. Now they are getting bigger and their blanket just isn't big enough for both of them. The older sister (by 3 minutes) thinks it should be hers, but the younger sister disagrees. Mommy decides to make them each a blanket. One will be yellow with flowers. The other will be pink with birds and flowers (leading my two oldest to argue over which one was better). A realistic portayal of both the small arguments that siblings have as well as the love they share. My oldest two are two years apart, but their relationship reminds me a lot of the relationship between these two characters. Simple but beautiful drawings. We all thought it was neat to learn that the author is a twin herself. less
