"I know all the faces you make, and
you know all my faces, too. I know your
"Silly Face" which makes me laugh so
hard my stomach hurts. It's the only
pain that makes me feel better."
What a choice book this is for young readers, especially for good friends. The two boys are pictured at the opening. One is telling the other that he likes his friend's face. The smiles make it evident that one feels the same about the other. It is a great way to get started learning about each one.
The comparisons of the faces to those things they love to see and share guides the reader through the book with every page turn. Being best friends make certain that no matter where they are, or what they are doing, they will recognize the face they love. At the aquarium, or at a fireworks display, or just being together, they will continue to love the other's face.
They know everything about the other ... and love the faces they each can make, no matter the circumstance. In their hearts they know that they will always remain friends. As teenagers, as astronauts, even when they live together in a retirement home. No matter what happens as they travel together through life, one will listen to the other and offer support because ...
" ... I like your face."
This is a fun celebration of friendship, and a great readaoud for younger readers.
