ALWAYS TWINS

Book ID/图书代码： 06430015B82775

English Summary/英文概要： "You two are just alike!" everyone tells duckling twins Olivia and Lily. But while Olivia likes to "jump in the mud," run around, and quack so everyone can hear, Lily prefers studying and daydreaming. These different activities don’t always work well together, and eventually the twins grow annoyed by their differences and head off in opposite directions.

But the twins can’t stand to be apart for long. Lily comes looking for Olivia only to find her stuck in a tree. An adventure ensues that ends in a frightening tumble. Finally safe, the twins realize that while sometimes they are the same and sometimes they are different, one thing is certain: they are "always twins."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “你们俩真是一模一样！”人人都和孪生小鸭奥利维亚和莉莉这么说。但当奥利弗喜欢他“跳进泥里”到处跑，呱呱地叫声要让每个人都听到时。莉莉却更喜欢学习和发白日梦。这个兴趣不投的伙伴并不是一直走在一起，最终这对孪生鸭子因意见不合而烦恼不已。 但这对鸭子不可能分开太久。莉莉在找奥利维亚时，发现它被困在一颗树上。一次冒险不期而遇，最终以惊无险的下跌后画上圆满的句号。这对鸭子意识到它们虽然各自不同，但有件事情是肯定的，那就是它们始终是一对孪生鸭。 (sandy)

Awards/获奖情况："Watercolor-and-colored-pencil artwork in a soft palette shows the ducklings’ anger, fear and love in ways that young children can identify. Large-print text also helps emergent readers follow along. Although obviously fitting for twins, the story’s themes can easily apply to other siblings and friends as well."—Kirkus Reviews

"This depiction of a day’s adventures with two identical ducklings offers insight into the interesting, and sometimes misunderstood, state of being a twin."—Booklist
