Make-A-Face. Jane Byrne Stevenson and Sharon E. McKay. Toronto: Somerville House, 1996. 64 pp., with make-up kit, coilbound, $19.95. ISBN 1-89589-758-0. All ages. Review by Lorraine Douglas. ****/4

This attractive kit, printed on heavy, coated stock, offers complete instructions for creating more than 40 painted faces and also provides ideas for body art. After reading an introductory explanation and safety tips on applying the make-up found in the plastic palette, readers can follow the clear step-by-step sequences. At the end of the book there are also instructions for ears and a cone hat. Kids will love the vivid pictures of the melting face, vampire, space alien and the recipes for running blood and mouth colouring. This kit is most suitable for commercial sales but could possibly be used for libraries if the attached palette is cut away.

Highly Recommended
