Synopsis

Watch the animals' faces move and change before your very eyes, in this fun and interactive board book! Clever paper technology and playful storytelling will amaze young children as they watch lion, monkey, parrot and bear's faces change... as if by magic. The perfect boredom-buster for when you're stuck indoors.

Frog is lost, looking for his dad. What sound does Frog's dad make? Maybe he whoops or squawks or growls? This funny and exciting story is great for helping little ones to explore animals and their noises, especially as by simply turning the page they can see the animals facial expressions change right in front of them! Parrot looks quiet but when the page is turned her beaks open and she's suddenly squawking! Small children love to read books about animals and to see animal characteristics displayed through their sounds and expressions.

The Little Faces board book series encourages children to get involved in the animal characters and situations they're in, while offering satisfying and funny twists at the end. Simply by turning the page, the special paper movement causes the animals' expressions to change from sad to happy, tearful to joy, quiet to noisy! The effect is both fun and exciting, and an effective way of both enhancing storytelling and learning about different facial expressions and the emotions they convey.

Little Faces books are guaranteed to become firm family favourites, with little ones wanting to watch the faces change again and again! Don't forget to check the other books in the series as well:

Reviews

'Does Your Dad Roar?' Is a wonderful short book to read to babies and toddlers. I have read it to my eight month old son and, even at his early age, has enjoyed it thoroughly. As the pages turn, the pictures on the book change. For example, the lion suddenly begins to roar as the age is turned. The text is short and simple as well as fairly repetitive so to allow young children to stay engaged and memorise it. It is also a great introduction to animal names and sounds. I really enjoyed reading this short story and have read it many times since. Certainly a good book to start young toddlers with.
