Book Description

This companion to the beloved Peekaboo Morning takes children through the evening of the same adorable toddler, who plays peekaboo with everyone from his grandparents to his puppy, until it’s finally time to snuggle into bed with his blankie. Visual clues leading into each page turn, the repetition of the phrase “Peekaboo, I see . . .” and Rachel Isadora’s gorgeous illustrations combine to make a wonderful read aloud for young children.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—The adorable tot from Isadora's Peekaboo Morning (Putnam, 2002) is back in this getting-ready-for-bed story. As in the previous book, the child exclaims in big, bold letters, "Peekaboo! I see…," leading readers to turn the page to find the person or object of the game. Bright pictures, done with pastels, add to the fun as the child spies grandparents, parents, pets, a rubber duck, "my blankie," and finally, from atop the bed, "you!" Youngsters will enjoy searching for visual clues as they play along with the familiar toddler activity.—Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT

From Booklist

A companion book to Isadora’s Peekaboo Morning (2002), this upbeat picture book follows an African-American toddler through an evening at home. After going outside to spot the moon with family members, the child comes back indoors to have a snack, a bath, and a story. As in the previous book, each right-hand page carries a picture accompanied by the words “Peekaboo! I see . . . ,” while the following page identifies what the child saw, such as “my daddy,” “my puppy,” or “my slippers.” After the first few pages, the book’s audience can use visual clues to guess what the child is seeing. Heavily applied pastels create a warm, colorful family setting for the story. This pleasant book is well designed to engage young children in talking about the illustrations as well as playing their own peekaboo games. Preschool. --Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Isadora Book, October 24, 2008

This review is from: Peekaboo Bedtime (Hardcover)

Another great Isadora book to add to our private library. I am so impressed by her capturing of reality for young children. I share these books at the school where I teach in Chinatown in New York City. My son, 4, really gets in to all her books because he loves her illustrations. Keep them coming!

This is one of my grandsons favorite stories and I was getting tired of renewing at the library. So happy to have found it as it is out of print. It arrived in as stated condition.
