Peek-a-Moo! Novelty Book – Picture Book, September 1, 1998

Huge flaps and cute simple story for babies!

This is a precious book for curious babies and toddlers. It is a lift-flap book but since the flaps are so large, we have had some trouble keeping the pages from tearing during the ever-exciting "peek-a-..." moments which is why I am giving it 4 of 5 stars. I frequently have to glue pieces back to the book but it is worth the trouble for now since this book makes our toddler so excited about reading. We actually have to hide this book to prevent reading it 20x a night and to get some of her other stories into the reading rotation.It is on the larger size so it also makes a great classroom book for teachers. This book is all about lifting the flap to discover what each animal says. There is a cow, duck, mouse, pig, rooster, a couple other animals, and at the end, a baby. It isn't a long book which makes it easy to memorize. Peek-a-moo, peek-a-cock-a-doodle-doo, peek-a-oink, etc. are on every page and the toddlers LOVE to scream out the animal sounds.Even with the easily torn flaps, I recommend this book for all kids since it makes reading so much fun!

Bought this for my granddaughter after reading reviews. This is her favorite book, read over and over. Her face loghts up when she picks this book over many others. Very pleased with this book.

My daughter loves it. Reads it every morning before school begins. I am a happy parent. Peekaboo and pop-up books got my children more interested in reading and I am ok with that. My child is Autistic and has a speech delay, this book was recommended and I must say, communication has gotten better. 5 stars for me.

My son LOVES lift the flap books from around 9 months old, so I ordered a few of the most highly reviewed ones. This is by far his favorite - anytime he sees it, he drags it out and wants me to read it to him (actually read it and hold it so he can lift and lower the flaps). If its on the bottom of a stack of books, he throws all the other ones on the floor and then waves this one around in excitement. He also likes that when you open it with the cover facing out you can see the whole cow. As other reviewers have pointed out, its not a board book so you can't leave baby alone with it if you want it to stay in one piece but still pretty durable. Highly recommend.(His other lift the flap favs are Where is Spot, the Karen Katz books, Where is Maisy, and Who's at Home (cutest book ever).)

Holy cow, my child loves this book. He is now 14 months, and at 9/10 months I started reading to him. Most of the time he is gentle with the flaps, but if he looks like he's going to tear it off, I just make sure to keep a distance from him until he learns to be more gentle. But he cracks up at each page when the animals are revealed. He knows this book with the pink spine on his bookshelf and specifically pulls it off and brings it over for me to read to him. He starts getting excited before I even open the cover.

My 8 month old son goes to daycare, where they read this book to his class. The teachers read it to kids ranging in age from 12 weeks old to 3 years old, and ALL of the kids are silent and are so attentive when it's read to them. They'll all smiles and love the "peek a boo" from each of the animals! It's really amazing to watch! My son loved it so much, I bought one for our house, and he absolutely giggles with each of the animals! I've already purchased a few other copies for gifts, and plan to purchase the "peek a zoo" book for our house and gifts as well!

My 11 month old son loves this book. I thought I should point out some things that were unexpected about it when ordering sight unseen. This is NOT a board book, and it oversized. My son is at that point where he wants to do everything for himself, but I cannot let him have this book alone. The pages are at least thick, like poster board, but that isn't enough to prevent damage. He also has a harder time turning the pages and lifting the flaps because of the large size. I would have liked to know this, so I thought I'd share. Content wise, though, it is great. We are learning names for the parts of the face, and it is great for that, if only he would let me hold the book for him.

this is my third incarnation of this book as after about three years of using it every week in nursery school and crèche, it finally falls apart. worth every penny.Super pour l'éveil à l'anglais avec les tout-petits

I first saw this book at a baby sensory class and my daughter loved it. it had flaps which any new mum will tell you is one of the things that entices young children to a book (hence Spot and Dear Zoo are such favourites) it doesn't have very many words so it keeps a young childs attention and it encorporates the sounds of the animals which seem to be one of the first words/sounds a child recognises and makes. the pictures are clear and bright and instantly familiar to children. we started using this book at 6 months with my daughter and it is still one of her favourites. i'd strongly recommend. its also a good present for a new mum and i have bought it for a few of my friends.

This is a great book. I have three kids who have all absolutely loved this book. It is very simple but very engaging for little ones. I have bought many for gifts over the years. Probably best age would be 6 to 18 months, although my 20month old still enjoys it.

Bought for my sister, who lives in France. I knew the book already as my grandsons simply adore it.It arrived promptly and packaged well. It was in good condition.

Parents and babies love this, slightly different take on the usual
