A NEW BARKER IN THE HOUSE (The Barker Twins), written and illustrated by Tomie dePaola, was published in 2002. It was the second picture book featuring "The Barker Twins."

Publisher's Note: "The Barker Twins, Morgie and Moffie, are about to get a new brother! But he's not a baby. His name is Marcos; he's three years old; and he only speaks Spanish. Morgie and Moffie are very excited! What will he look like? wonders Moffie. "I wonder if he can walk," says Morgie. When Marcos arrives, he says, "Hola," and soon the whole Barker family is learning some Spanish. As he plays dollies with Moffie and dinosaurs with Morgie, Marcos is learning some English too. Morgie and Moffie even want to bring Marcos to school for show-and-tell. It's not long before all five Barkers know the words for family in both English and Spanish. Now everyone knows that Marcos belongs right in the middle of this happy familia."
