Are you looking for a board book that offers humor, invites little listeners to make predictions, and provides opportunities for these aforementioned little listeners to engage in some empathy? Are you wanting a board book that appeals to both kids and grownups? Are you hoping to find a board book that’s different from the rest?
Well, this book is for YOU!
Jean Jullien is the master at saying so much with just a few words and his amazing art.
I don’t even have to add commentary to my post. These spreads pretty much say everything that needs to be said.
Open the flap.
Open the flap.
Some of the reasons for the faces turn out to be quite surprising. Find this book and see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
If you want to squeeze even more entertainment out of this book, show one of the faces to your older kids and ask, “Why the face?” Then have them draw what might be the cause of that face. See. This book can be fun for the whole family. 🙂
Oh, and if you find yourself wanting more, more, more, get your hands on this book, too.
Here’s a sneak peek:
Happy reading!

Just yesterday I got my hands on this books and it is delightful! it’s also a fun way to have kids of any age, but starting with the youngest, learn to READ faces- their own in a mirror and faces of others as they demonstrate various emotional expressions. Turning this int a game can hook kids on tuning into others (rather ha screens) and taking the next step to questions, consider, and share. Thanks for featuring this one, Tammi.
You’re welcome, Sandy!
Sorry about the typos above- working on a different desk and bumped send too soon. :O

Those are quite clever and unique board books. Thanks for sharing them!
You’re welcome, Judy!
Awesome!
I thought so, too. 🙂
These books remind me of My Pictures After the Storm, which I found hilarious! I can’t wait to read these two as well.
YES! I did a post on that book earlier this year. Loooooved it!
Looks super cute!
Agreed. 🙂
Adorable, fun, interactive. They seem great.

This could be a super helpful book for my son and his classmates with autism. Learning how to look at and interpret facial expressions is a skill they work on, and this book adds an element of playful humor to the task!
Congrats Rozo on winning a copy of Making a Friend!
I agree! Thanks for pointing this out.
