Reviews / Votes
"This book challenges young children to think critically and creatively, to play, explore and engage with pictures in books, beyond literal interpretation. It stimulates conversation too. For all the educational value of the book, the most important aspect is that it is fun!" * The Highgate Handbook * "Underlying this wonderfully playful book is a message about treating objects respectfully. Its creators have chosen to personify all manner of objects and present the book from the viewpoint of those `Faces'. There are kitchen things aplenty How many faces can you find?There are bathroom objects: and the good thing is they are always smiling unless we humans mistreat them ...
Because every single item has its own special purpose ...
and wants nothing other than to do its own thing (lateral thinkers like me - don't go there!!)
And probably best of all are your very own personal things. Well maybe not quite, because out there is a big wide wonderful world full of ... FACES ...
Now here's a challenge: get a copy of this super book and see how many you and your children can count. Happy face counting ..." * https://jillrbennett.wordpress.com/tag/faces-faces-faces/ *
