Synopsis
A little boy is happily playing with his dog and his football, when he's suddenly confronted by a big bear, who runs off with his ball! Experiencing a whole range of emotions, the little boy makes a lot of funny faces during the course of this charming book, and the reader is encouraged to copy him. Young ones will adore pulling all the hilarious expressions - particularly when they see how funny they themselves look in the surprise mirror on the last page. This is a delightful, interactive first storybook, packed with fun and ideal for little hands to hold!
Review
This is a book for children from 4 months upwards with a story on one side of the book and on the other a face showing the emotion of the childs reaction to the story.
To me this is a brilliantly conceived book and at the end - a bonus with a mirror for the child to make lots of different faces. But might I add an extra - for children on the autistic spectrum, who may have a problem in recognising facial emotions, this book is an excellent way to show them faces portraying the different emotions we all have, and then try them in the mirror as a way of recognising them and what they mean.
I highly recommend this book.
