The Brothers are the authors of children’s books that are as entertaining (and of educational) for adults who read to their children as well!  This is a new series by The Brothers is a learning tool as well as an entertaining well illustrated with photographs book for youngsters who are curious. It is meant to be shared, a starting point for parent/child interaction in learning and opening the field for questions.This book deals with the number 2 – and to give an example of how the book is constructed, the first page starts with a photograph of adult hands holding baby feet. The wording is ‘We have only two hands, two feet, two eyes, two earsDid you know that? There are 27 bones in the human hand and that only apes hands have a similar structure.’ Picture, facts, and then further information make this a very interesting format.Some of the other 2 pages present eyes, sets of teeth, genders (the note courageously mentions the combo – hermaphrodite), two names for autumn, two political parties, sides of a coin, two kinds of pandas, number of humps on a camel, the two World Wars, two million flowers for a bee to make one pound of honey, number of days humans can survive without drinking, number of muscles in a cat’s ear = thirty TWO, and so forth. The amount of information begins at an (hopefully) obvious level and then disseminates into all manner of topics as the above list suggests. As The Brothers say, ‘Read it the book to your children, speak to them about it and explain it to them.’ This is one of the more creative and fun books for families. Highly Recommended.
