  • The book is a solid introduction to a range of human expressions and the concept of nonverbal communication.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • Allen and Futran have created a book with a purpose that is also fun to read…The rhythm of the text is bouncy and easy to read aloud. This title will work well in a program or one-on-one.
