(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Hitch. Lysander Singleton wants to be like the other students at Twin Oaks Elementary, but he is the only student who is not a twin. During the Twindividuation competition "meant to encourage individuality," independent Lysander shines and everyone sees his strengths. The empowering story will uplift kids without siblings or anyone with twin envy; Hitch's sleek art is light and quirky.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Hitch. Dr. Squash attends to the dolls' ailments. When he falls sick, the dolls use his techniques to heal him. The details of imaginative play are right on target for the audience. Brown's story (the text is slightly revised, though it's still a little dated) is reissued with fresh illustrations that maintain a friendly, old-fashioned appearance.
