Mrs. Mustard's Baby Faces
(Nothing is more enticing to a baby than another baby. Now...)
Nothing is more enticing to a baby than another baby. Now in a bigger size and with brand-new vibrantly colored backgrounds, the Chronicle's groundbreaking board book is better than ever! The 12 pictures of darling baby faces help infants and toddlers explore a complicated range of emotions by showing both happy, smiling babies and cranky, crying babies. The book opens accordion-style, so it can stand up in a crib or on the floor to amuse even the youngest infant.

Quotations: "My special style of work is a photographic montage, consisting of cut and reworked color photographs of my own taking. Much of my work is a fictional narrative, mysterious, edging toward superrealism."
