Punchy rhymes, irreverent cartooning, and a multiracial cast of babies introduce terms like happy, sad, asleep, and awake. Despite the title, Cotter (Beard in a Box) is more focused on opposite pairs than on what some of the faces look like; readers don-t even see the faces of a girl mid-jump (-up face-) or a baby with a kitchen pot on its head (-hidden in a pot face-). But Cotter-s brash cartoons and the goofy energy of his rhymes create a solid atmosphere of fun, and an inset mirror lets readers show off their own faces at book-s end. Available simultaneously: Little Face/Big Face. Ages 1-4. Agent: Brianne Johnson, Writers House. (Sept.)
