“Look-alike” twins have shared everything since before they were born. Now their blanket is too small to cover both. The girls help their mother to make two new blankets. Colorful mixed-media illustrations are set against ample white space, and they work economically with the spare text to create a lovely story about learning not to share. Up to Seven. Rachel Wood
