Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same! is the award honored early reader by Grace Lin. The book is composed of 6 stories that interconnect. They follow twins Ling and Ting through a few adventures all revolving around how they are similar, yet different. In the first story Ling can sit still while her hair gets cut, however, Ting cannot causing her bangs to have a big chunk cut out making the twins once and for all not exactly the same.
Since this is an early reader, it is very successful at using site words to help young readers feel more confident and practice reading on their own while still keeping them entertained. Lin's illustrations as well help the story move forward and keep an early reader interested.
It is no surprise that this book won the Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor, it is an exceptional read alone book for young children.
