This is our 7-month-old daughter's favorite book. She screeches with delight upon seeing Grover. While the colors are soft, there are many interesting things to look at on every page. The message is also nice...it encourages children to appreciate the beauty of nature.

We bought this book sight unseen because our 18 month old enjoyed other "Peek-a-board" books. This particular entry makes very poor use of the "technology" of peek a board. I would consider a "good" use one that has a dog or cat peeking through the die-cut holes in the pages. None of the holes in this book have anything peeking through. The cleverness here, if you can call it that, is that the colors match up through the hole. I guess they're trying to hide the fact that the holes exist.

The whole point of these books is to "peek-a-boo" through the holes, and there's nothing to peek a boo in this book. As well, the colors are muted and the text is weak. I recommend you avoid this peek-a-board book if your child likes to peek-a-boo things thru the holes.
