Review:

--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, October 1989
This small-sized assemblage of baby photographs folds out, accordionstyle, 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.

--WOMAN, October 1989
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
