The storytime kids really liked this one. Twin kittens are looking for something to paint, and dad tells them to paint him .. then falls asleep.

[Jennifer Heise · Rating 3 out of 5]

The exploits of This one and That One, and the results when Big Jim Cat drowses off, are funny. I'm not convinced my son loved it as much as he said, but he certainly said we should keep the copy I got at the booksale.

Some colors, some Amelia-Bedelia like humor. Family themes. A little bit of 'dad incompetence' when he is left alone to cope with the twins on Sunday morning, but kids *may* think that is because he's sleepy...

These are very creative and fun books written by Jane Seymour and her husband about their family... The twins in the book are their twin boys and each of their other children have parts in the book as well. These are fun to read and fun to look at the pictures while your being read to.

This one everyone has things to do in town except the Daddy and the twins. The Twins are bored and the adventures they do with Dad! And Momma's reaction when she gets home!

This is a fun story.

Even after you've read it once (and know the ending) you'll still chuckle at what happens. And you WILL be reading it again ... trust us.
