Review

I loved this book. I loved, loved, loved it. I loved looking at the pictures. I loved noticing all the little differences. I loved how this book is an interactive experience. How the text asks you to look at the pictures with a question in mind. Much like a parent would if they were reading together. --Becky's Book Reviews

Few people stop to notice how creatures differ from others within their species. Animal Faces is about observing these differences, about being aware that things that may at first appear exactly alike are very different upon closer examination. The concept is so simple that one wonders why no one came up with it earlier. Each double page spread features a grid of high-quality, full-color photos (21 head shots each of gorillas, camels, seals, etc.). Each of the two dozen featured animals are introduced with a few sentences of text, followed by a question, such as: 'Can you find the happy, sad or angry elephants?' 'What do you think these seals would be saying if they could talk to you?' This marvelously entertaining and thought provoking book will fuel a lot of interesting discussions as children and adults alike learn to increase their observational skills. - --School Library Journal
