Jimmy and Janet are twins, but that doesn't mean they are exactly alike. Jimmy wants to dig the biggest hole in the world. He likes to use a real, grown-up shovel. While he's working, his sister, Janet, pretends to catch fish. She likes to use her imagination. But the twins both like silly jokes, brand-new boots, and talking to Mr. Lemon, the mailman. Children will be sure to enjoy their many small-scale adventures!

Beverly Cleary's gift for writing with a clear understanding of children is coupled here with her experiences raising her own twins. Refreshingly realistic, these stories celebrate the many steps children take as they grow up. Originally published as four seperate picture books, they are now perfectly formatted for young readers and listeners, with delightful all-new illustrations.
