Twin Tuesday- The Best Children’s Books About Twins!

(This post contains affiliate links. Click here to see my full disclosure statement.)

Happy Twin Tuesday! This week’s post is all about our favorite children’s books about twins!

I love adding books to our collection that my kiddos can relate to and use them as a way to spark conversation. We know our twins are special because of the bond they share and yet unique in how they have their own personalities and own interests. I loved that all these books celebrate the joy of twins and how lucky and blessed we are that we have them in our family.

In our experience, twin books are hit or miss but whether you are looking for a book for your twins, for a friend/family member who has twins or even for an older sibling whose family is expecting two –  any of my picks below will not disappoint!

God Gave Us Two– by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Hands down, this book is my pick for the favorite. We already had another popular book in this series, God Gave Us You, which we loved so I had some high expectations. This sweet story is about Little Cub and her feelings about a new baby joining her family. She talks about her worries (will her parents forget about her when the baby comes) as they reassure her and encourage her about how wonderful having a sibling is (to love, to play with, to teach). They tell her how God blessed them with her and now he has blessed them with another baby. Spoiler Alert: They actually return home from the hospital with surprise twins. (Apparently bear ultrasounds aren’t up with the times 😉 )  This book has a lot of words so probably would be best for ages 2+ and also perfect for siblings as well as twins themselves! We love this story and it always inspires more conversation about how God has blessed us with each of our children who bring different and unique gifts to our family!

Playtime for Twins and Bathtime for Twins – by Ellen Weiss

These two sweet books are most definitely our 22-month old twin’s favorite choice. They ask to read these two again and again (..and again!). The story is short and the rhyming always holds their attention. The illustrations are adorable and perfect for their age right now. Playtime for twins goes through the adventures of the day with a set of twins: building block towers together, reading books, going to the park, etc. Bathtime for twins follows the same format but at bathtime. We loved them both and I know those are going to be favorites for a long time!

Two is for Twins – by Wendy Cheyette Lewison

Our littles loved this one for the beautiful illustrations. They go through different things that make two – hands, eyes, feet and then transition to the relationship between twins. I loved how they talked about how each one always has the other to play with and live life with. We love this one because it’s cute but also because it shows the special twin bond as siblings as well as friends!

Fraturtles – by Keith Greenstein

Can I just say that I absolutely loved Fraturtles because of the cute story but also it’s super clever play on words! It’s about twin turtles who are confused that they don’t look alike even though their friends tell them that twins do. Their mother tells them it’s because they are ‘fraternal’ and the sweet girl turtle heard ‘fraturtle’. (I was rolling at that part and so was our 6 year old but it went over the other boys heads.) She’s pretty pumped she has a fraturtle and doesn’t care that they don’t look alike after all because she has a best friend for life. LOVE this story because it’s unbelievably cute. It didn’t hold our twins attention very long at this point because it’s a big longer but with how much our older boys liked it, I can only imagine it will be a favorite as they grow up.

Twin to Twin – by Margaret O’Hair

The illustrations in this one were the best of the bunch. Luke and Reid loved pointing out the babies and all their toys on each page. The book has minimal words discussing all the doubles that come with twins (double giggles, double talk, double kisses and hugs). It’s short enough to keep even younger kiddos entertained but tells a sweet story of twice the fun and joy of twins. Loved this one too!

Happy Twin reading!
