Toddler-PreS—Amanda and Miranda are panda twins who prefer eating bamboo to anything else. Manushkin's simple rhyming text follows the twins throughout their day as they observe other animals around them—lions eat meat, apes eat apples, and zebras eat hay. The pandas get into a nonsensical sibling fight, start missing each other, and eventually fall asleep together holding hands. Hernández's illustrations are vibrant, colorful, and full of life and help the story flow smoothly.
VERDICT A good storytime read-aloud; preschoolers will enjoy the twins' adventures through multiple readings. An additional purchase where picture books circulate heavily.
