Two is for Twins

Great book to purchase if you have twins ! My twin boy and girl loves it. Will definitely purchase again as a gift for a friend .

My Twins love this book!!

I read a lot of books to my 2yr old son and wanted a good book to help prep him for when his new twin brothers arrive. It turns out there are very little options with twins and big brothers out there!I ordered the following books (all listed in the photo):- I am a big brother- Brothers Forever- Two is for Twins- My babies, my twins big brother- Two boring twin brothersWhile “Two is for Twins” isn’t specifically a big brother book, it has helped us talk about his two brothers and learn “two” in general! The illustrations were great and I think appropriately geared towards younger children. This has been a great one to read to my 2yr old son, and will also be great to read to the twins after they’re here.We ended up also keeping the “I am a big brother!” Book and reading it to him now before the twins arrive. He loveeess this book and even tries pushing the stroller like the big brother in the book!We are giving him the “Brothers Forever” book along with a small gift for when the twins come home as a gift from the babies to their big brother.While I’m disappointed the two big brother books don’t feature twins, I felt like these were a lot better than “My babies, My Twins Big Brother” and “Two Boring twin brothers.” These two were both paperback and overpriced in my opinion. The illustrations weren’t that great and geared toward perhaps older children. These weren’t for us and I wouldn’t recommend these titles!I would however recommend “Two is for Twins” - it’s adorable!

They liked it

My twin boys love this book. I introduced it right before their second birthday to help them understand that they are twins and have the same birthday. I teach them how to share like the book, ask if they are wearing the same clothes at bedtime which they sometimes are, and tell them how they do everything together and two is better than one. I also make them sing "Happy Birthday to you" based on the last 2 pages, and they love it. I read it at bedtime. The book is perfect for twins, I like that it teaches them to share and make them think of being together and best friends. They ask to read this book at night.

My granddaughter (just over 1 year of age) is very observant, so while her friends were occupied playing in her childcare group, she was obviousy confused about a set of triplets in her group. Her mom noticed a change in that she refered to "all the tires are the same," and "two tires on the bike," and other numerical comparisons, thinking it was just a new awareness but then she was confonted with more than that; she just did not seem to comprehend multiples in her peers. So, Grandma looked for books and found this one, as well as a series on triplets.She loved the books, and now has talked to her mom about what she was experiencing (as best an under-two can do). One was that she was being hit and the teacher and director were right in there helping her, but it now seems she wasn't aware the triplets were 3 different children, yet she saw them all around her at times. Ahhh, the brains of infants.There needs to be more books about multiples that's for sure, but as I told my daughter, "those moms only sleep at red lights." She politely reminded me that I had "Irish Quints."

We bought this for our twins before their first birthday. They haven't really 'gotten it' yet, but since the birthday cakes at the end of the story have 3s on them, I suspect they'll catch on eventually (they are only 1, after all!).I appreciated that this book did a good job of portraying twins as just like any other kids, while at the same time highlighting all sorts of special and unique features (built in playmate, how special 'two' is, the fun things that can happen on your birthday, etc). The book also did an excellent job of not 'pigeonholing' identical twins into a life of forced similarity. The twins in the story clearly have their own tastes and styles even though they look quite alike. In addition, the pictures are very cute and the rhyming is well done. It is an easy book to read (and read, and read!).The book claims to also be perfect for children that aren't twins, but eh, that might be a stretch. Not in a negative way, rather that this book is *far* more relevant to twins, or the siblings of twins (or the parents of twins!). I would most certainly purchase this book for any other sets of twins I know.

This is the perfect gift for a set of twins. Cute and adorable book about twins. Easy to read.
