Wow...There's a LOT of stuff in my face!

IN YOUR FACE THE FACTS ABOUT YOUR FEATURES, by Donna Jackson
AR Level: 7.9 Points: 1
Interest Level: Elementary/Middle Grades

This non-fiction book gives a wealth of information about the human face. It starts out with descriptions of all parts of the face, from the mouth and nose, to the eyes, and skin, to name a few. There is an interesting section on facial identity—no two faces are exactly alike. The aging process is described, as well as a section on using computers to show age progression for missing children, to get an idea of what they might look like many years after their abduction. There is also a section on people who have difficulty recognizing faces—they simply can’t make out the facial features and only see blurs in their place. There’s a section on facial expressions, special smiles, marks of beauty, piercing, and face painting. There is an excellent glossary of terms in the back of the book. This would be a great book for an elementary student to use for research on the human face.
