Publisher's Synopsis
Twin Tales is a collection of eight short sketches aimed at children aged 5 to 9. The stories take place around the globe: in the USA, Brazil, Nigeria, Morocco, Finland, Russia, Japan and Australia. All stories are about twins -- boy twins, girl twins, and boy/girl twins. Each tale is representative of the country in which it takes place and each conveys some characteristic(s) about twinship itself. Dr. Elizabeth A. Stewart, formerly at the London School of Economics, is an expert in twin studies and author of the book Exploring Twins.
