" A lovely gem of a book! "

" A very sweet story of a girl trying to define herself. "

" An incredibly sweet book about a Chinese-American family. Melody is the precocious middle school budding artist/writer, and this book is about her life in an upstate NY town. "

" Good book for introducing Chinese culture. Did not like the references to "getting rich" and how important that is, but perhaps it is true to cultural form. "

" I think this book is great "

" My six year old boy enjoyed the book. He laughed so often when I read the book to him. He is a half chinese ,so he found the book is very related to him. "

" A cute story, but the pacing was very slow. The novel captures the day-to-day life of an elementary school student almost too much - not enough conflict to keep the story moving forward. "

" A very fun book, and LOVED the different perspective of life according to a younger person, as well as issues dealing with culture. "

" Not especially memorable or brilliant, but it was fun for the age group. I like the she kept a postive spin on the experience of growing up second generation Chinese-American. "

" Short but sweet. It's a big young for me but I like Grace/Pacy's point of view of growing up Asian American and being confused about who she is, her struggle to "find herself" and have a best friend in the Year of The Dog. Fast but interesting. "

" I loved this book, it was funny and interesting! "

" Sweet and insightful recollections of a Taiwanese-American childhood. "

" I had read "The Year of the Rat" first and decided I'd like to read the book that led to the sequel. I was very pleased. I now understand why the author wanted to follow up. A wonderful story of self discovery and making friendships. "

" Book talk: Ling and Ting are sisters and look alike, so everyone thinkg they are exactly the same. You can find out how they are different in the chapter-like stories told in the book. My favorite is the last one. "

" It enjoy reading the Twin sister Ling and Ting. Teachers can teach students how write the similarities and differences between the twins.Teachers can require from the students to read it independently or as a group. "

" Cute book about two sisters who are identical twins...and all the things about them that aren't identical! My 6 year old and I enjoyed the sweet story about 2 girls finding their own individual identities. "

" The epitome of what a beginning reader should be. Very nice. "

" Identical twins Ting and Ling look exactly the same to most people--until one of them sneezes during a haircut. Six very short stories about the twins contain gentle humor and illustrations on every page, facilitating the transition for young readers into chapter books. "

" A fun read for beginning readers. A must read for twins and siblings seeking individuality. "

" A delightful and compelling story for beginning readers. The plot and format are suitable for a range of ages. "
