This six-inch board book contains ten pages of smiling baby faces. Like its companion volume Peek-A-Boo, the author does a good job of featuring children from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The charming photographs will appeal to the youngest children, who enjoy seeing and watching other babies. And these babies are all happy babies with very expressive faces. The author provides a few words on each page, all of which center around the act of smiling. The book should help kids connect the concept of smiling with feeling happy. In addition, the author uses the words grin, chuckle and laugh; so that the idea that there are more ways than one to express something comes through. The six-inch size is a positive feature because it is small enough so that young children can hold it themselves but large enough so that the photographs will engage their attention. This book is part of the publisher's "Baby Faces" series. 1997, Cartwheel Books/ Scholastic, $4.95. Ages 3 mo. to 2.Susie Wilde (Children's Literature)
