Publisher Description
Grace Lin is the New York Times best-selling author of the Newbery Honor book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. In Ling & Ting, Lin crafts a charming tale about a pair of Chinese-American twins who insist that, despite their physical appearance, they are NOT alike. Ling can't use chopsticks, no matter how hard she tries. And Ting can't sit still-a characteristic that makes the twins more different than ever after a small mishap at the barbershop. "Lin . shows her versatility once again in an original book that tells its story clearly while leaving room for thought and discussion."-Booklist, starred review

"Winner of a 2011 Giesel Honor Award, this early reader is broken into several chapter length stories that center around twins Ling & Ting. A fun read for children just beginning with simple chapter books. I enjoyed the dumpling story but loved how the end wrapped the whole thing together. "
— Alyson (4 out of 5 stars)
