Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

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. ( Mar.)

Review

From bold to bashful, bewildered to beautiful, this book bursts with babies! Sharp, silvery-toned black-and-white photography captures a multitude of first expressions that will entrance both young and old alike. (Ages 1 and up). -- Synopsis

This beautiful, rythmic book is perfect for a child of any age. My son fell in love with it when he was only 4 months old. He still reads it daily. This book is a treasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 11 month old loves this book, April 24, 2001

This has been my daughter's favorite book for the last month, and there is no sign of it ending. She will search through her shelf of books and somehow find this one to pull out. And I'm going to give away the ending... It has a really nice mirror on the last page - she loves to stare at herself and then flip back through the pages to the other babies. She loves it so much that I am about to buy a second one - a couple of the pages are already tearing! A must have!

We have had this book from infancy, Quinn is now two years old and still requests the "baby book". The rhymes, multicultural pictures, and surprise at the end make this an enjoyable book for us all to read. This has become our standard baby gift and is much loved by all who recieve it.
