Reviews and Commentary for Double-Header (All Aboard Reading : Level 1 : Preschool-Grade 1)
From Booklist, 12/01/93:
Gr. 1. This is a very funny story in which the simplicity and repetition are part of the action. Bob and Rob are monsters, joined together in one body with two heads. "We are stuck with each other," they say. Having two heads is great for looking both ways when they cross the street and for singing duets, and it's great for playing baseball, since they can keep two eyes on the ball and two eyes on the bases. The trouble comes when they disagree: They run both ways at once and don't get anywhere. But they make up and are off to see a double feature at the movies. The cartoons in garish colors pick up the exaggeration, the wordplay, and the farce.
