As a coffee table board book for young kids (apple juice table
board book?), this is a lovely presentation of 12 faces culled from
the work of diverse twentieth and twenty-first century
artists...The works are all interesting and well reproduced, one
per large square page, framed in white.
—Booklist
In a follow-up to the high-contrast ART FOR BABY (2009), this
wordless, oversized board book features colorful faces from
critically acclaimed visual artists.
—Kirkus Reviews (online)
Use this book with elementary grade children ... for an art class
on faces or self-portraits.
—School Library Journal
Readers will be left thinking about the different ways faces can be
represented, and the mirrored surface in the final page lets them
add their own features to the mix.
—Publishers Weekly
The book-making is excellent, and the art has been chosen with
sensitivity to what babies will really want to look at.
—The Horn Book
