Faces, Faces, Faces!

Authors: Jacqueline Sinclair, Jeremy Sinclair

Step inside the house and garden inside this book and join the hunt for faces! There they are, on the tree trunks, the apples, the plops in the pond, the deckchair, the fly agarics. Into the kitchen, and everywhere we look we see a face; on the slices of toast, the teapot, and the door handle.  Even the holes in the colander form face features. Every inanimate object has come to life, all with such happy features!!  Unless that is, we are horrid to them. Someone has left the bathroom in a terrible mess, and here the faces look upset, or just plain cross. Why? Well, here comes the explanation. Balls love to be kicked… (big smiley face) but teddies hate it. (Upset face) Pencils like to draw, but don’t like being chewed. “Things are happy just doing their own thing,” say the hoover, broom, hairdryer, radio. The duvet loves keeping us warm, the moon loves shining, the stars love twinkling and the world loves whispering… night night, sleep tight.  Every spread is packed with so much to discover, and the large, simple text is pared down to ensure the pictures speak their own story. Small readers will love hunting for ever more and more faces in this intriguing picture book for those just discovering the fun to be found in sharing a book with others.
