A lovely children's book about twin lambs. Perfect for reading to small children, and for them to read for themselves when they are older. Lovely illustrations too.

I'm not in love with this one. I found the choice of colors for the genders cliched and found the bathroom illustration discomforting.

I am sad to give this book a 2 because it seems to have great potential. We are introduced to Poco and Moco not only are they twins they are best friends. Yet we can tell they are very different than one another. The illustrations are wonderful done within the story. A and I agreed that it is a good idea to share something that you both have like Moco and Poco share their doughnut.

Now the reason you may ask is why would you give this book a two star review if you seemed to like it. Well first of all there is a illustration within the book that shows Poco standing up to go to the bathroom and Moco sitting down. Now I understand there may be nothing wrong with this but when I am reading to my little girl who is 5 I really don't want to have to explain at least not at this moment why boys pee standing up and girls sit down. I think that there is another illustration they could have used.

Second half of the words were split into three different page along with the pictures. Really hard to read a story when the formatting is not really good.

I am keen on Japanese storytelling and this is a really cute picture book for toddlers about twins. Shows how the twins are the same and yet different. This is a pop-up, flip-up book which will be a fun tactile read for little ones. However, I read the ebook edition and wasn't able to experience that aspect. Definitely purchase the print edition.

Poco and Moco Are Twins is a picture book written and illustrated by Jun Ichihara. My girls have mostly moved beyond picture books, but they still enjoy checking out the digital review copies that I receive.

Poco and Moco are a pair of sheep twins. Poco is a boy, and Moco is a girl. They share similarities, but they also have their differences. Poco likes bread, and Moco likes desserts- but they both like donuts! There’s not much of a plot, but that’s okay, because this book is intended for older toddlers and younger preschoolers. It’s more of a concept book than a narrative.

The illustrations are bright and colorful with lots of vivid imagery. Many of the pictures are full of details, and it was fun to look at all of the things depicted. The physical book has some flaps to turn. This was replicated reasonably well with our digital edition, but it’s much more fun to turn the flaps on a physical book. There’s an illustration of Poco standing up to use the toilet; this contrasts with Moco sitting down to use the toilet. My twins thought that this was hilarious, but my older daughter was concerned that the illustration was “inappropriate”.

Overall, my children liked this book. My younger two children are twins, so they especially enjoyed reading a book about twins, even if Poco and Moco are much younger than my twins. My older daughter also enjoyed this book. All three of the girls played along nicely and searched for Poco and Moco amongst a crowd when the book directed them to do so.

I would recommend Poco and Moco Are Twins to older toddlers and younger preschoolers. Older preschoolers and children in the early years of elementary might be looking for something with a little more of a story, but even my girls liked this book quite a bit.


I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.

This is a cute book featuring twin sheep Poco and Moco. We learn about ways they are the same and ways they are different. Bright and simple illustrations complement the text well.

I love this book so much that I wish to buy the physical copy soon!

The illustration is cute, the color palette is pastel and so heart-warming. The message is also nice, about accepting differences and being nice to each other.

A very recommended book for your kiddo, for presents as well!

Looking for a book that has cuteness overload? Well look no farther, "Poco and Moco" fit the bill perfectly.

These adorable twin lambs look exactly alike and provide each other company every minute of the day but once you take a closer look you find that they have many differences.

Poco is a boy and Moco is a girl. Moco loves sweet desserts and Poco prefers breads and rolls (they both love donuts), Moco's room is neat as a pin while Poco's room is cluttered and messy. They both use the toilet in a different style and when participating in outdoor play Poco loves to play hide-and-seek while Moco heads off to climb trees. And what career do they dream of having when they grow up? Why Poco wants to become a chef and Moco an astronaut. These choices are totally different indeed.

If the twins have a hard time doing something alone they always join forces and work together gaining great success by using teamwork. The concluding sentences sum the book up perfectly:

"The twin sheep are alike in some ways and different in others. And they are always best friends."

This adorable book uses fold-outs, cut-outs, and bright, happy, vibrant illustrations to make it a fun read for the targeted age-group. I highly recommend it.

Sweet children’s picture book about twin sheep, a boy and a girl, and how they are alike yet different, and about their cooperation. Bright, imaginative art accompanies the simple story. Recommended for your preschooler. Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ebook for review.

Poco and Moco Are Twins by Jun Ichihara is a beautifully illustrated book for young story. The story of adorable twins who are very much alike but also different. The text celebrates differences and cooperation between the siblings, one a girl and one a boy. A story that can be read to very young story but also read by slightly older children. I highly recommend this five star juvenile story.

This was a cute read about siblings who are twins and both alike and different. I liked the illustrations as well.

I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Poco and Moco are Twins by Jun Ichihara is a super fun super cute picture book. The twin lambs are best friends They play together and get in trouble together and they both like donuts. This book explores their similarities and differences. The illustrations are very colorful and in some cases very detailed. Children will enjoy discovering all the different objects and characters on the pages. They will love the cut outs and fold outs. A great picture book for a young child.

Do you have twins in your family? If so, you'll want to share this cute little book with them. It's precious.

Museyon and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

Poco and Moco are sheep. They are also both alike and both different. Poco is messy, Moco is neat. Poco is fat and Moco is thin. But they find that if they work together they can accomplish more and have better achievements. That's called team work.

My favorite illustration is from the bathroom. That sounds gross but that's where you learn they are fraternal twins. Poco is male (the illustration will make you smile) and Moco is a female.

As much as they are different, they also very alike and they're cute and loveable. Probably just like your twins...

"Poco and Moco Are Twins" by Jun Ichihara is an adorable children's book that would be appropriate for young children as well as pre-preschoolers and kindergartners. I love the brightly colored illustrations. I read a Kindle book and it appears that the book has pop-ups and other attractions in the physical one that would really appeal to them even more. This book shows children how we can all be individual and different and still get along and share. It helps to conquer the expectations of the majority that all people must fit into a prescribed mold. This is a great book that would hold the interest of many kids out there.

My granddaughter loves lambs and she really liked this book. The illustrations are quite cute and the text is short and sweet. For older children the message is that we are all both similar, yet different, even twins. It is okay to be like different things and still be friends. A bright, colourful book that both young children will enjoy as well as pre-schoolers and kindergarten children who will also understand the message.

I read this book together with my niece. She loved the bright colours, illustrations. It's really good to learn the concept of twins. Poco and Moco are so cute. It has lots of beautiful messages you can chat with your kid like having different tastes, characters, looks, but still sharing other things.
I would definitely recommend this for young kids.

I had the kindle version of this book. That means I had no access to the popups and folding and things. But the story itself about a set of twins (girl and boy) and the illustrations were both cute. I think toddlers would enjoy it.
That said, I was confused by the page or two with the boy standing and peeing into toilet followed by the girl sitting on the toilet. That seemed unnecessary....kids know girls from boys and I found it a bit offensive.. Too much information...for what purpose?

So this is a cute and very well illustrated childrens book about twin sheeps and how much alike they are and how different they are as well. It is a wonderful way of illustrating to a young child the similarities and differences between individuals. Simple, educational and easy to read, great for reading along with a toddler or preschool child.

This was an adorable read. The twins in the book may look identical, but they are very different too. The pictures are colorful and simple. There were some cute interactive part for the kids. I would say this would be great for toddlers and younger pre-k.

This is an adorable book, and I say that not just because I am the mother of twins. It teaches about similarities and differences, and I love the brightly colored illustrations. I don't think the digital copy did the book justice as I can tell there are pages that will fold out in the physical books, and kids always love that!
