BookTubeaThon 2015 Challenge - Read a book by an author who shares the same first letter of your last name (Mike Thaler) (T)

This book holds a very special place in my heart. My 2nd grade teacher gave this to me when I was struggling with my grades and tried changing them and hiding them from my parents, which this book is about a set of twins who try to do the same exact thing. It makes me kind of sad there are no ratings on this book because its so cute and funny, I think every child and parent should read this, or anyone for that matter. Highly recommended <3

All the lying and deception by the boys in this book made my six-year-old son very uncomfortable.The kids lie to their mother and their teacher and go to great lengths to keep the two women from communicating.
