Toddler-PreS–This cheerful, digitally illustrated book will be popular with readers who follow YouTube influencers. Fans of the McClure twins will enjoy this story about putting on a fashion show. On the eve of the show, Alexis and Ava realize that they have different ideas about what to wear. Because they’re twins, they want to match. But they are also individuals. The solution is to combine their differing fashion sense into one outfit so they can stay on brand. The book ends in a sort of Grey’s Anatomy fashion, as the two girls and their family dance it out. Fashion tips appear in the back matter. There is a specific saccharine appeal for those fascinated by twins, but the title is unlikely to have a long shelf life.
VERDICT Skip this one.
