Thus begins Ones and Twos, a most creative book that explores the relationship between singles and doubles in a delightful and engaging manner. The story centres around a day in the lives of two young girls and a nesting robin as they share a special time in a neighbourhood park.

A simple, rhyming text follows, "one bird, two eggs" and "One girl, two legs" through a day of play in the park. Children will be able to spy many other one and two combinations in addition to those mentioned in the text. Though the concept is simple, the collage illustrations are pretty detailed, so these can be explored in more detail through one on one sharing.
I think that this book has really wonderful illustrations. It reinforces the concept of the numbers 1 and 2 through both text and graphic illustration. This book would best serve children in the pre-K age range. I also like that children of different races we represented. Also there is a lot of good repetition for young readers.
The simple text and storyline make it great for younger audiences. This would also be great as a one on one read, where you could spend more time investigating the detailed illustrations.
A day in the life of two friends as they go to the park and share a pastry.
A unique counting book in that two is the highest number, but for toddlers and babies, that's just about perfect. As they get better at recognizing ones and two, they can point out single items and coupled items in the illustrations but not mentioned in the text.
Cute book about things that come in ones and twos, with a cute little story.
