Colorful pictures and simple rhyming texts help children guess what's peeking through the die-cut windows in these two fun board books. The anticipation of what's hiding on the next page and the bright, engaging illustrations will keep youngsters guessing and giggling all the way to the suprise endings.

This book is fun. It's a tiny, compact book that's easy for little ones to carry around. It rhymes, so kids can memorize the sounds.

A great, colorful board book that could keep the children entertained and focused.

Great fun for the little-littles, who can appreciate the rhyming word play. (

A peek-a-boo game in a book, but very clever. The book has five sets of corresponding page spreads (six, counting the cover and title page) that follow a simple format. The first spread has a page with the words "Peek-a" and a companion page with a hole cut out of it, giving the reader a peek of the coming illustration. The second spread has a page with the word for that peek (for instance, moo, boo, or zoo) and the companion page reveals the hidden illustration (for instance, a cow, a ghost, or a zoo). Super cute. I love the fact that "peek-a-boo!" refers to a ghost, and that the last page is a mirror, for "peek-a-you!" I bought this book for my baby girl, who loves it, but my toddler also loves it and is always stealing it away! A home run in the fun book department. (

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0811826023, Board book)

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! .
