While Ling and Ting are not so much the cut-up and straight man the way Dodsworth and duck are, nor are they the worrier and the soother the way Frog and Toad can be, they are two realistic children with realistic interests and concerns who bring a little something extra to their stories by being twins and presumably similar in all ways. While Lin is capable of creating complex situations and emotional hurdles for her characters to overcome in her novels, she is also perfectly suited to writing the best kind of beginning reader book there is - the kind where two friends, be they frogs, toads, mice, moles, hippos, ducks or girls, get along in their daily lives, usually helping each other and enjoying each other's company, but sometimes shaking things up with their differences.
