Seeing as you all loved our blog post where we told you some cool facts about Twins we thought that you would enjoy a part 2 so here it is...
If you haven’t read Part 1 you can find it here. Fact number 1... Multiple births in UK have been on the rise: birth of twins has risen almost 50% from 1984 - 2004 (latest data). Around 98.5% of all multiple births in the UK are twins and more than 9.000 sets of twins are born in the UK each year. Twins are taking over!! Fact Number 2... If a pair of identical male twins marry a pair of identical female twins, their children will legally be cousins but genetically be full siblings. I still can't wrap my head around this one... Fact Number 3... Fraternal twin girls have twice the chance of giving birth to twins than singletons. Wow, more interesting facts about Twins that you may not have known before... These fact posts have been inspired by the book The Roper Twins: Bath Time Battles with Nan, written by Cauline Thomas- Brown and published by ETA Books. You can buy the book on Amazon , FOYLES and ETA Webstore , if you love the book why not leave a review?!

Male twins will not have twins unless their wives have the ability to produce two eggs. That’s so interesting... Did you know? Twins are twice as likely to be left-handed than singletons. So cool! Well, I definitely didn’t know that much about Twins! Did you? To hear all about the Twins in their bath time battles with their nan you can purchase the book, The Roper Twins: Bath Time Battles with Nan here.  Books have been around for ages, you probably read loads of them in school and maybe in your teenage years but how many of you now can say you’re an active reader? Yeah me too.
Growing up I had always been a bookworm, my nan would always say how I had my head in a book and I did. It was a great hobby of mine that I thoroughly enjoyed. Going into my early teens I stopped reading as much as I used too, I would occasionally pick up a book or purchase my favourite celebrities newly released read but I would never finish them. It made me sad to see something I loved so very much growing up, just sat on a shelf. Until a year ago… That’s when I picked up a book that I started but never finished, I read it all the way through and I felt GREAT! I hadn’t realised before but reading really does help you, for me personally it helped relieve stress and helped me to wind down. You could sit with a warm drink and a blanket in winter and an ice drink under a tree in the shade in the summer, books are so versatile. Reading is something to do on the days where you’re bored or lonely, something you can do in bed at night, on your lunch break or even eating your breakfast. You can read on a bus, in a car, walking *we do not reccommned walking while reading a book as many things could happen such as stepping in dog poo, walking into a lamppost or something much worse!* You can read a book anywhere. I could go on forever about why reading is good for you but I won’t, I will however challenge you to go to a store and find a good book, read it until the end and see how great you’ll feel. Find your favourite book today at the ETA webstore. |
