Review

This new spin on the classic baby game of peek-a-boo pairs a sturdy board book with a Jim Henson Muppet named Lizzy Lou. The simple text and colorful illustrations are a good way to introduce babies to the basics of the game with some help from a furry, yellow hand puppet with lime green hair. The puppet will be added visual stimulation for infants and the working arms will make it easy for adults to demonstrate the motions of the game. (Judy Bergeron, The Advocate)

In a cheerful board book of cartoon-style illustrations, Lizzy Lou is delightfully surprised as she finds all her friends in their hiding places. The game of peek-a-boo, always a favorite of young children, can be continued with a Muppet puppet of Lizzy Lou, sized for an adult hand. Her yellow fur, neon green hair and contagious smile will prompt many a giggle from you toddler. -- Reviews

From the Publisher

The news is out-the Muppets are back in business. Or have they ever really gone out of style? These irresistible puppets by Jim Henson Productions have captivated more then a generation of children, from the days of the first TV shows in the seventies to the blockbuster movies of the eighties and nineties. It seems that the wonderful scamps are bound to live on in the hearts of children everywhere, no matter what comes around. Here to celebrate their popularity and vivacity are three books by Workman Publishing-GO TO BED FRED, a combination bedtime book and real Muppet puppet; PEEK-A BOO, LIZZY LOU!, a bouncy tale for curious toddlers also accompanied by a Muppet; and THE MUPPETS MAKE PUPPETS, where Cheryl Henson shows kids how to make over 35 puppets from stuff around the house. All three bring the exciting world of the Muppets off of the TV screen and into the home-and the imagination-of your child.

An amazing gift set I just got tonight for Christmas! I can't wait to introduce to my class of special needs kids to Lizzy Lou and read her story. Any pre-school aged reader will have a field day exploring Lizzy Lou's hide and seek world in the book, and then living their own with the puuper in ... or rather, on ... hand!
