Story Books Featuring Multiples

Our house is very much lacking in decent children's books featuring multiples.

We were given Little Miss Twins – Part of the Mr Man and Little Miss series by Roger Hargreaves. It's a fun light-hearted story but I can't say I am a huge fan. I realize that is the idea with the Mr Man series of books, to exaggerate one facet of the character, or, in this case characters and be all about their twinness… which is fine but not exactly what I am after.

What I'd I'd really like to find are books that feature twins who are just regular characters in the story. Books where twins are not in the story only because they are twins.

We have one book like this – The Biggest Bed in the World by Lindsay Camp. This book features twins and triplets as part of an ever-growing family of co-sleepers who need an ever-growing bed. We love this book for many reasons – mostly because the father knocks down walls to make a big enough bedroom for the big bed without thinking of the structural issues and the house falls down… we know someone in our life who does things like that, too.

I'm sure there must be other books out there that feature multiples as fun, lovable, every day characters in the story. Please tell me your favorites!
