Lisa Brown.
Friendly ink and watercolor illustrations follow twins through a day of give and take. Simple text provides a succinct one-sentence analysis of each scene, whether it's an example of getting what you want or the opposite. Mick Jagger may not have been singing about having to wear a raincoat over your ballet costume, but the book successfully applies his can't-always-get sentiments.
