Review

Brother and sister twins are entering kindergarten and they "absolutely positively" wanted to be together. They go off to different classes the first day of kindergarten, have their jitters, but meet new friends and understanding teachers and get to play together at recess. By the end of the day, they realize that kindergarten even in different classes is "absolutely positively awesome." Twindergarten is story that is played out regularly in schools today with many twins in the same classroom and many twins not in the same classroom. This gives an upbeat, positive spin on family love with the independent spirit individual children have. Expressive illustrations done with colored pencils give the children Dax and Zoe personalities and have just enough detail to let the listener/viewer fill in the story with their own thoughts.

Overall Book Score: good
