Original Book on Book Dash: Who’s that baby? (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Read the repeated lines aloud and let the child point out matching movements or features; linger on the reveal if they want to discuss it.
- Themes
- Recognising oneself: A child compares their movements and features with a baby in the mirror, then recognises the image as themself. The self-recognition is presented as a cheerful, playful discovery.
- Worth knowing
- The mirror briefly seems to contain a separate baby, including when that figure disappears; the playful explanation comes with the final recognition.
