Look at the happy baby. Can you make a happy face? Find the happy baby!

This bold, beautiful board book introduces five essential expressions: happy, sad, angry, surprised, and silly. Each is introduced with a large image of a baby's face. Readers are asked to mimic the face, then pick it out from a group of other babies.

The very last spread includes all of the expressions from the previous pages, and a mirror so readers can watch themselves make any face they please.

Making Faces: A First Book of Emotions by Abrams Appleseed offers a delightful and interactive way for young children to explore emotions.
