Review

“A baby’s favorite game is the inspiration for this pop-up book, which encourages new talkers to join in and “read” and even initiate their own games of peekaboo. The pop-ups are especially well designed for little hands inclined to help.”—Parents’ Choice

5.0 out of 5 stars My Daughter's Favorite, December 10, 1999

By 

Michelle G. Berry (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peekaboo!: A First Pop-Up Book (Hardcover)

I recieved this book as a hand-me-down for my first daughter. It had already passed through one toddler's hands, so it was not in mint condition, but she loved it anyway. No matter how many times we read this book, she thought it was funny. Unfortunately, it finally fell apart. I have just purchased it again, in its new, larger format, for our second daughter. I know she will love it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for Speech and Language Development, August 30, 2005

By 

Elizabeth Ryan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peekaboo!: A First Pop-Up Book (Hardcover)

I am an Early Intervention Speech Language Pathologist. I am buying this book again for my practice because I find it invaluable. I have taped my current copy together more often than I can say! My clients, age 18 months to 4 years old, all adore this book. It holds their attention and engages them. At first, we work to label the objects, then we get more complex and talk about where they are, ie. in the bed, behind the book...etc. If you are looking for a simple book to begin language development, this is a good choice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing after some reads, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Peekaboo!: A First Pop-Up Book (Hardcover)

We enjoyed the book initially, but it is flimsily constructed and falls apart easily, even without baby hands grabbing at it. Because of that, we don't read the book much anymore, and I wouldn't recommend it. Disappointing as it was good at first.
