Synopsis
Describes what different parts of the face look like when a person is surprised.
Children's Literature
This book describes and shows what happens to a person's face when they are surprised. The left page tells what happens in one to three lines. A full page photograph of a child on the right page shows what happens. The children in the photos are of diverse gender, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. Some of the facial movements shown are raised eyebrows, open mouths, dropped chins, teeth being more visible, nostrils looking larger, cheeks lifting, and, noticeable in the photos but not mentioned in the text, eyes widening. The book is a part of a series called "Let's Look at Feelings." There is a content page at the beginning and a glossary and an index at the back. That page has thumbnails of the facial features mentioned. There is also a list of additional websites relating to the subject. The book would make great reading for a preschool class who would enjoy mimicking the various expressions. Reviewer: Christine Cassello
