This book enforces harmful stereotypes of gender and race， do not reccomend。

Adorable design though Im not quite in agreement in the faces matching the emotions。 Also why does my 2 year old get so early upset when we go to the negative emotions。。 hrmm。

For: readers looking for a beginner book about emotions that features photographs and has an interactive element。Possible red flags: could be too difficult for some readers （since they must pick the "correct" emotion out of a few examples）。 For: readers looking for a beginner book about emotions that features photographs and has an interactive element。Possible red flags: could be too difficult for some readers （since they must pick the "correct" emotion out of a few examples）。 。。。more

Simple and clear images。 We enjoyed the mirror at the back， but i wish the phrasing was different。 Instead of referring to the child AS happy "Look at the Happy Baby"， i wish it called out that the baby was feeling the emotion "Look at how Happy that Baby is" or "This baby is feeling happy"。We are trying to teach our child that he is not his emotions， that they will come and go。 Simple and clear images。 We enjoyed the mirror at the back， but i wish the phrasing was different。 Instead of referring to the child AS happy "Look at the Happy Baby"， i wish it called out that the baby was feeling the emotion "Look at how Happy that Baby is" or "This baby is feeling happy"。We are trying to teach our child that he is not his emotions， that they will come and go。 。。。more

This was my least favorite of this books。 Even though my two year old loves， like really， really， loves these books， this one left me disappointed！ They could have used a few more emotions and a few more obvious facial expressions。 My girl got confused， because some of the babies didn't really look surprised or silly。。。 Ended up being a good book about matching。 This was my least favorite of this books。 Even though my two year old loves， like really， really， loves these books， this one left me disappointed！ They could have used a few more emotions and a few more obvious facial expressions。 My girl got confused， because some of the babies didn't really look surprised or silly。。。 Ended up being a good book about matching。 。。。more

Implicit racial biases。 The white babies almost never make a sad or angry face whereas the Black and Asian babies are mostly negative emotions。

Last years summer reading program free book from the library and perfect for our emotional learning。 One of the first books my toddler can “read” himself。

My daughter liked looking at all the different facial expressions。

My child loves books with real photos - she does not relate that well to books with drawings。 This is one of the few such books out there。 That it also helps her understand her emotions， and that there are few stereotypes in the book just adds to my excitement over this gem。

A very smart emotion board book that interacts with the reader， asking to match babies and look in a mirror to see one's one emotions。 A very smart emotion board book that interacts with the reader， asking to match babies and look in a mirror to see one's one emotions。 。。。more

I was really put off by the fact that the more positive emotion babies were white while the more negative emotion babies were POC exclusively。 That is not the sort of message I want in my baby story time。

while they do feature diverse faces， all the babies of color are the ones that are angry/sad， whereas the white babies are silly/happy

My little one studied and studied these faces and was enthralled with the books several months ago。 We borrowed it again and she enjoyed the book just as much。 I appreciate the babies of various skin tones and ethnic backgrounds and the ability for her to match expressions and emotions。

If you， like me， are a parent who sometimes struggles to do the part of reading aloud where you talk to your kid about the pictures， this book is especially awesome because conversation is built into the text。 Clear photos of just faces， no background， help babies zero in on facial expressions。 Also， all the babies in this book have really excellent hair。

Love the photos of "real" life babies used in this book。 This book fills a void in the "emotions" genre for children。 Love the photos of "real" life babies used in this book。 This book fills a void in the "emotions" genre for children。 。。。more

Babies love books with baby face photographs， and _Making Faces_ is a standout among these books。 Each page has a large， clear photograph of a baby exhibiting an emotion， such as Mad or Surprised， and that emotion is labeled under the face。 On the facing page， there are several small baby faces exhibiting various emotions， and the reader is challenged to find the baby with the matching emotion。 The small faces are placed on the page in a circle， which looks cool， and the faces are placed in diff Babies love books with baby face photographs， and _Making Faces_ is a standout among these books。 Each page has a large， clear photograph of a baby exhibiting an emotion， such as Mad or Surprised， and that emotion is labeled under the face。 On the facing page， there are several small baby faces exhibiting various emotions， and the reader is challenged to find the baby with the matching emotion。 The small faces are placed on the page in a circle， which looks cool， and the faces are placed in different spot on the circle on different pages （i。e。 the grumpy face might be on the top or the bottom， depending on the page）。 Some babies show up on different pages with different emotions， too， so toddlers and preschoolers will have plenty to spot and notice！ Caregivers can point out these similarities， and they can also start conversations like， "Do you ever feel grumpy？ Can you make a grumpy face？" The last page features a mirror to facilitate these experiments！Overall， this book is simple but very， very well done。 Highly recommended！-AT 。。。more
