Nine-year-old twins Andy and Zach spit everywhere - at the girls on the playground, on their way to school, while they play ball. To make them think about this behavior, their teacher describes all the animals that spit: llamas, archer fish, clams, camels, fruit bats, tiny millipedes who spit acid, and Indian Spitting Cobras who spit venom into predators' eyes and blind them.

The Spitting Twins takes a sensitive approach to a difficult behavioral problem. Kulka's beautiful color illustrations complement the story.
