BOOK REVIEW
"When I was asked if I would write the foreword for Catherine S. Snodgrass’s new children’s book, What’s that LOOK on Your Face? All About Faces & Feelings, my delight could have been measured in megawatts! Editor’s Note: "While I don’t typically write reviews for ASQ, I decided to make an exception in thiscase."

"The puzzle, what-the-heck does that facial expression mean, is finally solved in Catherine S. Snodgrass's book What's That Look on Your Face? While this book is a fantastic resource for children with autism spectrum disorders, I venture to say adults on the spectrum might enjoy it, too! I know I did!"
Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D., author of Pretending to be Normal: Living With Asperger's Syndrome
"Teaching emotions requires more than labeling some faces on a chart. Catherine S. Snodgrass 'gets it.' Her delightful book What's That Look on Your Face? is an effective visual tool to help teach the complex meanings behind emotions."
Linda Hodgdon, M.Ed., CCC-SLP, author of Visual Strategiefor Improving Communication
"Catherine S. Snodgrass has done it again! What's That Look on Your Face? will be a wonderful addition to any library. Every page is filled with descriptive emotional terms that will lead to insightful discussions of the pictures that follow. As an added bonus, there are wonderful ideas included at the beginning of the book to make it a practical intervention tool."
Teresa A. Cardon, M.A., CCC-SLP, faculty research associate, Arizona State University, author-Let's Talk Emotions and Initiations and Interactions: Early Intervention Techniques for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
"This is a phenomenal children's book. The unique style of the illustrations is incredibly expressive and engaging, which is particularly important when the book's primary purpose is to help those on the autism spectrum identify and understand facial expressions and the emotions they represent. The rich vocabulary is equally engaging with an amazing rhythm that will delight children and adults alike."
Jennifer Veenendall, OTR/L, author/illustrator-Arnie and His School Tools: Simple Sensory Solutions That Build Success
"What's That Look on Your Face? is a great way to introduce a wide variety of emotions in addition to the basic three of happy, sad, and mad. The large faces make the emotions easy to see and recall while the synonyms make it a tool to be used over and over as the child's language increases. What a fun book!"
Wallis Simpson, parent and author-My Andrew: Day-to-Day Living with a Child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
"Deciphering facial expressions and emotions is a challenge for individuals on the autism spectrum. What's That Look on Your Face? uses beautiful illustrations and clear definitions delivered through the fun cadence of rhyme to interpret this topic for children. Catherine S. Snodgrass's latest book is a must for children, parents, and professionals."
Nancy L. Lawson, M.A., special education teacher and parent of a child with Asperger Syndrome
