We originally borrowed this from the public library, but my daughter would not put it down. She has us read this more than twice a day. She’s learning about facial expressions and when she’s upset we are able to express “sad” or “angry” to her and she understands.My baby loves this, and I’ve given it to a bunch of friends’ babies for their first birthday, and they love it too! My toddler especially loves making the “surprised” face, and it has helped her distinguish when she’s surprised versus scared, and I think that’s actually helped her be less scared by startling things, so she doesn’t cry about being startled as often, now that she understands the idea of being “surprised”. (Granted, that’s more how we talked about it with her, than just because of the book as it is, but it opened good conversations, which is really what books for this age range are for!)She likes the mirror at the back, too. And it’s helpful to play games making these different faces in our family, discussing what we’re each feeling — she’s very facially expressive now, which is super helpful since she’s not really talking yet at 20 months. Highly recommend!This book is awesome! My little guy has been loving this book for months since we got it. He now imitates all the emotions/ faces. I saw previous reviews saying that the black/ Asian/ latino babies were paired with negative emotions but fortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case on the copy I received as the first photo is the “happy” baby who is black. The only complaint about this book is that the “find the ___ baby “ pages aren’t developmentally appropriate and frankly are kind of confusing even for an adult, but they don’t ruin the whole book.Love everything about this bookI really love this book! I started reading it to my one year old and at first he didn’t really show much of a difference in his reactions to the babies displaying different emotions. But over time, he’s started to show compassion when we read about the sad baby and he likes making the happy face & silly face when we get to the happy & silly babies. It’s been really encouraging to watch him grow!Maybe it’s just me and maybe it’s because I didn’t have a book like this growing up, but the faces for crying and anger just don’t seem to fit. The angry baby look to me like an upset, sad, crying baby and the crying baby just looks angry. I feel they could have used better pictures.Also the goofy baby justLooks like a kid with its mouth open, nothing goofy about it. Kind of thinking of returning it.Wish the photos were not just floating heads.My toddler loves the book. He especially loves the mirror on the last page and he practices his different facial expressions in it. Recommend
