Baby faces
Dawn Sirett
- Reading
- Pause at each face, take turns copying the expression, and let your child point out what they notice before reading the rhyme aloud.
- Themes
- Reading faces: Photographs of babies showing expressions, including smiling and crying, are paired with read-aloud rhymes and invitations to copy a face. The book uses familiar expressions as a starting point for looking and joining in.
- Worth knowing
- The examples include a crying baby as well as a smiling one, so sadness is part of the facial-expression material.
