Ling & Ting: Twice as Silly
By Grace Lin
The Story
Twin sisters who look alike but never think alike share six funny stories about their everyday adventures, proving that being silly together is its own kind of fun.
Why It's Special
For the kid who has a sibling or best friend they can be completely ridiculous with, Ling and Ting feel like old friends who happen to be learning to read alongside you.
- Big idea: Twins can look the same and still be wonderfully different — and that difference is where the fun lives.
- Vibes: Playful, warm, and giggly, with short stories that make reading feel like a joke shared between friends.
Perfect For Kids Who
- are working on reading their first chapter-style books
- enjoy short, funny stories with a clear beginning and end
- like to compare themselves to a sibling or best friend
- respond well to simple, repeated sentence patterns
