Illustrated by
Marie Lafrance.
This companion to The Tweedles Go Electric has the early-1900s family keeping up with their neighbors by buying a telephone. The lighthearted story's parallel to our current-day distraction with screens includes Papa catching tween Tweedle Franny up in the middle of the night chatting on the modern "marvel." The refined graphite and mixed-media-collage illustrations effectively lend the story an old-fashioned feel.
