Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same!
by Grace Lin
Short stories about two identical twin girls.
The Haircuts-The girls get their hair cut and end up looking a little different when Ting sneezes while the hairdresser is trimming her bangs.
The Magic Trick-Ling is trying her hand at magic. She has Ting draw a playing card from a deck of cards so that she may divine what her card is in a thrilling show of magic. The only problem: Ting forgets her card.
Making Dumplings-The girls make traditional dumplings, but they don't turn out exactly alike. Ling makes Dumplings while Ting makes Dumptings.
Chopsticks-Ling has trouble using chopsticks to eat so Ting brainstorms a variety of ways to help her sister use them. In the end, Ling opts for a good old fork.
The Library Book-Ting heads to the library and Ling asks her to bring a book about dogs back for her. While at the library Ting remembers her card from the magic trick and races home. In her excitement she forgets to get Ling a book about dogs.
Mixed Up-Ting attempts to tell a story about Ling and Ting, but she messes up all the details except the ending.
Funny and reminiscent of the George and Martha stories, I recommend this book for grades 1-3.
