It's time to settle down for the night, but that's the last thing these cheeky monkeys wants to do. This is a going-to-bed book with a difference, as readers can bring the scenes to life by sliding the moving parts.
Small children love to read books featuring faces and books about animals. The Little Faces series combines the two brilliantly with a venetian window device that allows the reader to explore emotions, have fun imitating different actions, and get ready for bed.
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 out some other books in the series:
