You Are Two picks up at the point where the first book in the series, 
Karen Klassen’s art also remains equally charming. You Are Two retains the irresistible ink-and-wash illustrations used in You Are One. Now the featured babies have grown into toddlers who show off their skills, providing further continuity in the series. Appropriately enough, the pictures are less dreamy and more active. There is a subtle change in the styling, though, which cues mid-century classics like “Dick and Jane,” resulting in a heightened nostalgia in You Are Two.
