From Publishers Weekly
This small-sized assemblage of baby photographs folds out, accordion-style, showing happy, beaming faces and frowning, crying faces. Wattenberg has captured 14 ingratiating infants in a delightful "gallery." The book's sturdy construction and the photos' multicolored, zany backgrounds add to the book's charm. This endearing collection will be a terrific treat for babies, while their proud parents will no doubt recognize many familiar expressions. Ages 4 months-4 years.

Jane Wattenberg's Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces, has the makings of a children's classic. An accordion strip of seven snaps of babies laughing and seven snaps of those same babies crying, it's delightful.
This endearing collection will be a terrific treat for babies. Publisher's Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth its weight in gold,
By Liz at bigmura@aol.com (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces (Board book)
For about 5 dollars, this book is worth every penny, and makes a great inexpensive gift for a first birthday, or first Christmas. My son loved this book, and actually learned the words "happy" and "sad" from it. It's accordian style, but we read it like a regular book, turning the pages and saying "happy" or "sad" (with feeling!) depending on the baby's expression. Since it's accordian-style, it keeps turning itself over and you can turn the pages endlessly....(sorta hard to explain, but if you get it, you'll see what I mean.)At 3 1/2, my son still loves this book, now that we are "reading" it to his baby sister. Pure and simple fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent picture book for infants and toddlers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces (Board book)
This accordian-style book and it's hilarious photos of happy babies on one side and crying babies on the other, is wonderful for infants and toddlers alike. I bought this for my daughter when she was nine months old and she instantly responded to the other little people on the pages by smiling, laughing and giving them kisses. Now 15 months old, she is still taken with this book and can "read" it to herself because there are no words (a welcome relief after reading "Goodnight Moon" 1,000 times). A great shower gift worthy of laughs from both parents and kids.

Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces (Board book)
At 9 months of age, my grandson definitely had opinions about his favorite books and this was certainly at or near the top of the list. If you picked up a book he didn't like, he would bat at it and look in the direction of other nearby books. When "Baby Faces" was selected, he would sit calmly as long as it was being read to him and even "talk" to the babies. We have several precious picture of him sitting on the floor with the book folded accordion style and "playing" with the book, trying to "turn" the pages and "talking" to the babies pictured. The book went everywhere with him and somewhere, we lost it. So we are now ordering a 2nd copy.
