Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same

by Grace Lin. 43 pages.


In six simple chapters, readers learn about Ling and Ting, twins who everyone claims are exactly the same. But Ling can sit still and Ting cannot, Ling makes neat dumplings and Ting makes fat ones, Ting eats with chopsticks and Ling prefers a fork, and Ling likes books about dogs while Ting reads fairy tales. But while these sisters, who look very much alike, are very different from one another, one thing they agree on is that they will always stay together.

A warm story perfect for new readers just starting the challenge of chapter books, this short book celebrates differences and families.
