Synopsis
Children's science writer Jackson examines the compelling topic of the human face, presenting a trove of odd facts and an explanation of why the eyes, nose, and mouth are configured the way they are. The average face is capable of up to 10,000 expressions, and Jackson explains what happens when a face cannot make any, or involuntarily makes the wrong ones. She explores what makes some faces beautiful and how that can vary dramatically in different cultures, and delves into the unsettling matter of facial prosthetics, including how some are fabricated. Thirty photographs illustrate the proceedings, and an index, glossary, bibliography, and meticulous source notes are offered. A Junior Library Guild Selection and a Children's Book of the Month Club Holiday Catalog Main Selection.
