What child does not like to look in a mirror? On the last page of The Big Book of Beautiful Babies Board Book by David Ellwand, babies can see themselves in a mirror after they look at dozens of captivating black-and-white photographs of other babies. Some babies are ""quiet,"" some babies are ""loud,"" some babies are ""shy"" and some babies are ""proud."" The loud baby, especially, is having a lot of fun, kneeling on top of a very large drum.
