Summary:
Like his previous book (Hanimals, also reviewed by the OLRC), this book features photos, this time of Mariotti's face and feet, disguised to look like other things.

Teaching Ideas:
This book is fun just for looking/browsing. Talking about how the new images were created would be wonderful for ESL learners. Learners may also want to write descriptions of the photos. Ambitious groups may even wish to create their own "Humages." The book might also prompt conversation or writing about perceptions versus reality, "masks," or images.
