Amazon.com Review
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! .

My 9 Month Old loves this book!
She loves the holes in the book and the surprise at the end! (her image in the mirror) it is her current favorite. Peek a boo is an often used phrase for her right now and her favorite game, so using different words for "boo" is super funny to her!

 eh.... ( mgreene59 )
This book is just okay. The pictures are cute and vivid which I like, but it's very simplistic and VERY short. My kids (3 years and 18 months) just aren't all that excited by it. It's a fine book, but I'm surprised by all the 5 star ratings. Expectations were set a bit high, I guess.

Loves it!
I got this adorable book for my toddler granddaughter. She absolutely loves it! She's learning to talk and after just a couple times through the book she knew exactly which "who" was coming up on the next page. She has had a lot of fun with the book. She really loves to see herself at the end of the book in the mirror. I'm so glad I got this for her and glad that she is getting so much enjoyment out of it. It's a real treasure for little ones. I highly recommend it!

cute book good for infants ( kyoung-hye )
My daughter is 7 months old and I'm not sure if she gets the concept of peek-a-boo yet (she doesn't seem to get that the pages have cut-outs), but at least she loves the last page with the mirror (peek-a-you!). Good sturdy board book to bite and slobber all over. I'm glad I bought this book.

One book I couldn't get rid of! ( momslifesavers )
I must say, while organizing some book shelves for my two school age daughers I came across this book. I can't tell you how emotional I got! This book is so sweet, gentle and the perfect first book for a young child. I will save my copy for my grandchildren, due in 15 years! :)
