A cute little book about two mischievous kitten siblings. The lyric of the book makes it an especially fun read and the illustrations are very cute.

This was an instant hit. Even after 2 years, our child will periodically pull this from the shelf and ask us to read it. S/He loves the antics of the twins This One and That One. This is one of those stories where you can wear both pairs of paws. You'll remember what it was like when you wanted to do what the adults did, and you can also be the parent who still wishes for those stolen romantic moments.

4-year-old E. adores this book (a welcome change from her usual insistence on endless iternations of Spot and Curious George). I found it a little clumsily written at first-- the language very simple in some spots and oddly complex in others-- but it's grown on me. There are aspects of repetition and rhyme, but it's not a book in verse.

It's a fun story. The kittens are quite believably mischievous-- and so are their parents! It's not hard to imagine this story being based on a conglomeration of true events from a family with two small children!

Read this while waiting for my dad earlier. This One and That One are sneaky little kits. :D
