School Library Journal Review
PreSÄEye-captivating and expressive board books for infants. One or two words are paired with full-color close-up photos of a multiethnic cast of babies. In Baby Faces, emotions are directly linked to facial expressions with such simple terms as "yucky," "yum-yum," and "uh-oh." What's on My Head? presents a variety of colorful itemsÄsuch as a red fire hat, a stuffed toy puppy, and a green velvet froggyÄplopped squarely on top of each child's head. These first books are sure to entice future readers with interesting sights and sounds.ÄSelene S. Vasquez, Orange Brook Elementary School, Hollywood, FL (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
These slightly oversized board books feature larger-than-life headshots of an animated, multicultural group of babies. Very young children should enjoy identifying the whimsically presented objects in 'What's on My Head?' and repeating the exclamations such as yucky! and uh-oh! that accompany the appropriate facial expressions in 'Baby Faces'.

Booklist Review
Ages 6 mos.^-3. Energy and appeal are clearly present in these two new board books, which feature round, life-size baby faces. In What's on My Head? babies wear such fancy headpieces as a beanbag dog, a pretty bow, a firefighter's hat, a beanbag froggie, and a rubber duck. Baby Faces shows a variety of bright-eyed babies with expressions only infants can make: the "yippee" face, the "yucky" and "yum-yum" faces, and the "uh-oh" face. With the simple designs, striking and playful photos, and one-or two-word texts, these books are winning examples of the board-book genre. Highly recommended. --Shelley Townsend-Hudson
