(2) K-3 In the twins' third easy reader, six stories each conclude on a goofy note perfectly attuned to early readers' developing sense of wordplay (e.g, when Ling finds messy Ting covered with paint: "I said 'Paint everything'! I did not say 'Paint everyTING'!"). Bright borders surround each illustration, with straight-edged frames morphing into bubble-shapes for scenes that take place in the girls' imaginations.
