Carol Wilcox, who brings us today's featured book review, is another Cybils regular. A literacy coach and reading intervention teacher, she's been blogging at Carol's Corner since 2007, and in addition to posting a variety of reviews, she also participates in Poetry Friday. Fun fact: her very first blog post mentions wanting to be a judge for Cybils!
Recently, she reviewed a couple of Cybils poetry nominees that both teach and entertain–one of them was Take Two!: A Celebration of Twins by J. Patrick Lewis and Jane Yolen, illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Whether you have twins, are a twin, or just know a twin or two, this one's sure to amuse. In her review, Carol gave a brief description of the contents:
There are sections about "Twins in the Waiting Womb," "Twinfants," "How
to be One," and "Famous Twins." And each two page spread includes at
least one twin fact.
