From School Library Journal Grade 2-4--The formative years of the Wakefield twins are now chronicled and packaged for beginning readers in the primary grades. At seven, Jessica and Elizabeth are into dressing alike, planning a joint birthday party, and car ing for the class pet, rather than into romance. Thus far, the series features the art work and controlled vocabulary characteristic of basal readers and de scriptions of fantasy outfits that would be the envy of any second grade girl.
