Amazon.com Review:
Nina Laden's illustrations in this simple, rhyming board bookare truly magical. The format is straightforward: on alternatingtwo-page spreads, the words "Peek a" are repeated, opposite anillustrated page with a die-cut hole, behind which lurks a cow ("MOO!"),a green ghost ("BOO!"), and a mirror (you guessed it, "YOU!"). Theyoungest readers will delight in trying to guess who--or what--ispeeking through the window, and can easily grip the baby-fist-size holesto turn the pages for the answers. The picture of the "ZOO!" isfabulous. Through the hole, all that can be seen is a wild pattern ofcolors, stripes, and spots. Turn the page, and find a wild kingdom ofanimals, 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! .

- A favorite
I got this book for my 12 month old daughter and she absolutely loves it. She picks it up throughout the day to play with. She likes being able to turn the pages to see what the picture really is. On the zoo page we take the time to point to and name all of the animals. The book is simple and sweet and just the right length for her attention span.

I ordered this for my 20 month old and it's his favorate book! Well, a tossup between that and "Silly Faces in the Ocean" I was a little dissapointed with the size of the book though. It was a 4-for-3 sale book. I really wish Amazon included book dimensions in their descriptions. Anyway, I guess it's just the right size for him. He laughs at the ending every time.
"Peeka ... YOU"
And there's a little mirror on the last page

- Where's the beef?Oh, page 3.
In looking for another whimsical, creative, offbeat baby book like Pat the Bunny I found that this title, among others, was purchased on Amazon by people who bought Pat.Because of the connection with Pat I was expecting something more than just five Peek-As, and also that every image would be tied together in a story.
The Peek-As are: Owl/Who, Cow/Moo, Ghost/Boo, Animals/Zoo, Train/Choo-Choo, and the predictable mirror/You.The cutouts through which you see part of the full image ... Read More

- 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....
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.
