Peek-a-Boo
By Janet Ahlberg
The Story
A baby's day unfolds from breakfast to bedtime, as rhyming clues invite little hands to peek through die-cut holes in each page for a glimpse of what's coming next.
Why It's Special
For babies who love pulling at flaps and poking fingers through anything with a hole, this book turns a family's favorite game into something they can play with their own hands.
- Big idea: Peek-a-boo isn't just a game — it's how babies learn that things (and people) that disappear come back.
- Vibes: gentle, rhythmic, and cozy, following the shape of an ordinary day
Perfect For Kids Who
- love playing peek-a-boo
- like to poke fingers through holes and flaps
- respond well to a predictable daily routine
- are working on early rhyme and rhythm recognition
