About the Book

Book Synopsis
Parents, teachers, school psychologists, and-most importantly-big kids reviewed Body Talk Animated and love it. Why?
It's a FUN way to learn body language:
Face
Upper body
Navel down
And after you get good with the FUN stuff, you explore the world of animated films-and learn body language from cars that have eyes, cats that fight duels, and an octopus who drives a truck!
Illustrations show what certain facial expressions and body movements mean to most people.
Exercises you can do by yourself and with friends and family help you create your own, personalized body language book.
IMPORTANT sections help you know more about when to trust someone and when to back away.
You will also get good at knowing what your own body language tells other people about your mood and intentions. In other words, you'll get much better at communicating.

A resident of Virginia, he is a father and the "G -Man" to "kids of my kids." Jim is a patented inventor, actor, event DJ, and a lifelong auto racing fan.
Maryann Karinch
The author of 35 books, most of which focus on human behavior, Maryann has taught body language to groups of all ages-from senior staff at the Department of Homeland Security to students at George Mason University and families at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC. She resides in Colorado.
Review Quotes
Kids, teachers, parents, and school psychologists reviewed the book. Here is a sampling of comments:
"This book would be fun for kids to use in learning about such an important piece of social interaction. Not only the pictures, diagrams, and graphics, but the tone of the writing is inviting to kids. It is light and serious at the same time which isn't always an easy balance to strike."
Susan Anderson, school psychologist, Estes Park, CO.
"I think that this book would be a tremendous asset in a speech communications class. It might be the textbook or one of the textbooks for the entire class." John Higgins, retired teacher, Milton, MA
