Should be titled, "Faces of People," not FOR baby.
By Pat Lewis
While some of the artists' faces in this book are interesting, some of them are purely frightening to think of showing to babies. If the faces inside the book followed the feeling of the one on the cover, the book might have been appropriate for babies. I looked online to see if an earlier volume of this book were available since in the subtitle it says, "Twelve More Works by Famous Artists to Explore with Your Child." (Note...not Baby.)

By HaE
I was intrigued by this book as an art history buff - the selections they chose are.... interesting. I know art is much more than "I like it" and "I don't like it", but.... considering how MANY different faces have been painted, I'm not quite sure why the ones that were chosen were selected. My baby isn't super thrilled with it, other than the last page with the mirror. But we've got mirrors elsewhere.

Good for baby and young artists
By sarah k mcdonald
Not quite as engaging for my four month old as Art For Baby but still very interesting. As an art educator I appreciate the wide range of artists and styles. The art selected for pages side by side will make great compare and contrast discussions as she gets older. I even took it to school and used with some of my elementary art students as we were studying portraits and the variety of ways that artists can depict facial features.
