I love that this book has so many different lessons that can be taught. Not only is it rhyming, you can use it to teach about different cultures and how we all do not look alike and that is okay. It also can be tied into a sense lesson to show some of the senses and how we all have them.

Great book on the human body. Teaching children that no person looks alike, we are all different in some way other than by the color of our skin. You can use this book to have children sore themselves by different eye color or eye shape.

[Carly MJ]

Short, sweet and simple book about diversity in faces.

[Sonja]

Great book for all people!

[Stacy Natal]

Loved the photos in this book about all the different types of faces and why our differences make us special.

"Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, they're the first things that we see on millions and millions of faces, from Tibet to Tennessee. Some eyes are shaped like almonds, others are big and round. And what about the eyebrows? Why, all kinds can be found. Noses can be short and wide, or turn out long and bumpy. Some are small and curve up ... and some of kind of lumpy [...] Isn't it amazing how changing a feature or two makes millions and millions of faces, yet no one looks just like you"

Deanna 5-years old: I liked all of the girls in my book and I liked learning about two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. I learned that the eyes, nose, and mouth are the first things you can see on your face. I didn't like how the boys looked because one man had a big mustache and another had a bumpy face. I showed my family all the pictures as I read this book.

This is a great book to add to my diversity collection. It talked about peoples faces looking different by eyes, noses, and mouths. I liked how it showed the pages full of the same face and said would it be a great place to live if we all looked the same. NO Way!!

Great book.

Michele used this one to go with her self-portrait lesson. Different edition and ISBN, however.

I did a unit on the five senses and I really wish I would have had this book then. It would have been helpful. It has a good flow to it and rhymes. This book would be good for kindergarten.

A very quick and easy way to introduce the concept of diversity to your child.

On a side note, I never realized how much I could love eyebrows until I read this.

[Alicia]

This is one of my favorite books to show diversity in people.
