Product Description
From Amazon
Nina Laden's illustrations in this simple, rhyming board book are truly magical. The format is straightforward: on alternating two-page spreads, the words "Peek a" are repeated, opposite an illustrated page with a die-cut hole, behind which lurks a cow ("MOO!"), a green ghost ("BOO!"), and a mirror (you guessed it, "YOU!"). The youngest readers will delight in trying to guess who--or what--is peeking through the window, and can easily grip the baby-fist-size holes to turn the pages for the answers. The picture of the "ZOO!" is fabulous. Through the hole, all that can be seen is a wild pattern of colors, stripes, and spots. Turn the page, and find a wild kingdom of animals, one in front of the other: peacock, zebra, penguin, cheetah, elephant, and more. Ready for more peekaboo fun? Try Nina Laden's Ready, Set, Go! . (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-The exuberant illustrations in this guessing-game board book will enchant infants and toddlers. A bright left-hand page with the words "Peek a" faces a right-hand page with die-cut windows through which a visual clue can be seen. Turn the page and "Peek a MOO!" reveals a black-and-white cow; "Peek a BOO!" a green ghost; "Peek a ZOO!" a crowd of animals including an elephant, giraffe, zebra, etc.; and the final puzzle, "Peek a YOU," has a mirror insert. Vibrant colors with plenty of black outlines make this a charming visual treat for the youngest patrons.

Format:Board book
Our 8 and a half month old son absolutely LOVES this book! It is great because it is entertaining, comical, interractive, the words all rhyme with 'who', and this book delivers fun surprises (with clues as to what is behind before turning the page). Our son especially loves seeing himself pop up in the mirror at the end of the book! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a baby or toddler! Our son also enjoys the "Ready Set Go" by the same author.

I bought this book, honestly, just to get free shipping on a book my Dad wanted. I am SO happy we bought this! My daughter LOVES this book! The first time I read it to her, she just cracked the biggest smile I have EVER seen! She can sit by herself for 10 minutes just looking at the book. The mirror at the end is genius :)

Son LOVES it!
My son has loved this book since he was about 7 months old. He anticipates the pages turning and loves looking at himself at the end. Simply designed, very visual and fun!
