'I loved Topsy & Tim when I was young, so it was a bit disconcerting to see the updated artwork at first. But I think it works well - after all, they used to be in matching clothing back in the 70s, which I think would annoy twins (or the parents of twins) these days! My three-year-old enjoyed this book - I''m due to have a baby any day so she enjoyed chatting about the new baby and how she''ll be a big sister soon. It seems realistic, as the little boy in the book, Tony, has mixed feelings about his new brother, but it''s very positive overall. Also, it''s nice to see breastfeeding just happening as the norm in a book. All in all, a lovely book.'
