#Review: Twin Power & Twin Power:The Best Snow Day Ever by Benjamin and Kiyanda Young #giveaway #bookseries

About the books:

Sebastian and Simone are not just brother and sister. They are twins!

They show little readers some cool things they can accomplish because of their "Twin Power."

Join them in their adventures to see how "Twin Power" and working together make being twins super fun ... and convenient.

"Twin Power" is the first in a series of Twin Power Books starring fraternal twins named Simone and Sebastian. The twins learn how to work together and teach little readers about what it means to be a twin and a best friend.

The stories and adventures that the twins experience will show all children how to use teamwork to accomplish tasks.

I have twin siblings and know  first hand how twins can be. They always have, what I call, the "twin thing" going on even when they are not close by. The twins in this book have that same thing but it is called twin power.The twins in this book are fraternal and tend to do everything together. The book explains that they were born together and although they look different, still do many of the same things together, but like all siblings, fuss with each other too. This book is a nice beginning to what twins are and aren't.An addition to this book is reading comprehension questions in the back. This is a good idea and gives the reader a chance to delve into the book more than once. The book also included coloring pages in the back as well, that is a nice little perk.3 1/2 stars

In this second book of the "Twin Power" series, the fraternal twins enjoy their favorite time of year, winter! They want to enjoy going out in the snow but have to work together inside first to get to go outside. Outside they encounter some bigger kids who beat them at a snowball fight.  They must learn once again to use their twin powers to overcome their nemesis.

Unlike the first book that focused on the fact they are twins, this book focused on working together. Yes, it also highlighted the two being twins but showed other kids that the too can work together to accomplish something great. Overall, that was the main message of this follow-up book and it did shine through.

I do want to mention that the illustrations in both books are colorful and large. If the readers look closely they will find some fun pals on each page that join in the fun.

Like the first book, in the back contained reading comprehension questions and also included fun activities to do. Cute little book.
