Peek a Baby!


Peek-a-baby : a lift-the-flap book
by
Karen Katz
children's fiction, ages 0-3

This is a cute little book that shows a baby playing peekaboo. This could be used by a children's librarian, preschool teacher, or child care giver to encourage parents to play finger games with their children.
Unfortunately, this book suffered the fate that many books of this type suffer in libraries and at home. There was already one lift-a-flap missing and while I used it with a 1 year old RIP went another flap as the toddler grabbed it. We will have to get out the book tape for this one.
For some reason a certain six year old that was listening in to this story is now running around yelling "Peek"! as she looks around corners and laughs. I guess this book is a hit with 6 year olds as well as babies.

Clifford's Peekaboo


Clifford's Peekaboo
based on the character by
Norman Bridwell
board book ages 0-3

Here is a short book featuring everyone's favorite Big Red Dog - but when he was a Small Red Puppy.

This book offers an excuse to say "Peekaboo"! to the baby audience over and over again. Clifford the puppy is hiding - peekaboo! This book uses very short rhyming sentences and colorful, playful pictures. It would be a good one to use at the beginning of a baby and parent storytime.

These are other books in the series:
Clifford's Animal Sounds
Clifford's Bathtime
Clifford's Bedtime
