My granddaughter is 2 1/2 years old and she loves this book every time I read it to her. I would definitely recommend this book. My only suggestion would be to buy it sooner than I did. Little ones love playing peek-a-boo.

This is one of my 13-month-old daughter's absolute favorite books. It's one of those where we have to go through it 4-5 times before she's ready to put it down, and even then she often comes back to this book. Many times I've found her in her room, quietly turning the pages and making noises at the cute animals. I would highly recommend this book.

I bought this book for my son when he was 10 months old. He is now 16 months and still loves it. It's so tattered and torn that we had to buy him a new one. It't definitly a book you'll read over and over and over.

This is my one-year-old son's favorite book! He loves playing peekaboo, touching the texture of the animals, learning the animals' names, looking at himself in the mirror on the last page, and this book taught him what it means to kiss! Now he opens the flaps and kisses the animal! It's so cute. I highly recommend this book!

I took a chance and bought this- for far more- at a book store for my daughter who was 4 months old at the time. I couldn't believe how much she loved it and loves it still at 7 months. Rubbing the furry animals inside is her favorite part. I find myself getting into the book as well by making the sounds the animal would make. A good deal, price wise, too. The book store was almost double the cost! I plan to buy more of his books soon.

We were given this book when I had my first child. He LOVED it. He would kiss all the animals over and over, opening each flap to do so. Pretty soon he was doing this all on his own! It was adorable. Now my daughter LOVES it too. She also will sit on the floor and open each flap to give each animal a kiss. We have read this so much it is held together with a lot of tape. Highly recommend to anyone with small children or even as a great baby shower gift. How can you go wrong with a book about kisses!

This book is great for the earliest interactive readers. The illustrations are simple and colorful, and the touch-and-feel parts easy to spot for babies who are just learning the game. There are a variety of textures to touch along with a squeaker and mirror - our daughter loves them all.

My five month old is just learning the concept of peekaboo, and this book gives us both smiles each evening. The large font is good too.

"Peekaboo Kisses" by Barney Saltzberg.

Recently, I gave this book to my granddaughter, Tabitha, (22 months), who was obviously delighted. Each page brings up a different animal: kitten, puppy, sheep, duckling and then a mouse. As you say the words, "Peekaboo!", you open the flap of a page and there is the animal. Each animal has a tiny hole with the appropriate material: the "wool" for the sheep actually looks like some wool. The gray "fur" for the mouse, the last animal, is also a squeaker. An adult finger can cause the "Squeak!" every time, but Tabitha's little fingers had difficulty now and then.

Finally, you come to the last page. As it is opened (with the word, "Peekaboo!", of course), there is a metallic mirror where the young reader can recognize himself. When asked, "Who is that in the book?", my granddaughter would answer with her nickname, "Tabby". So, this book is excellent for both tactile training and self-recognition, while providing entertainment for both adult and child.

My son LOVES this book and Animal Kisses, but this is his favorite. It has held up pretty well but I wouldn't let him handle it on his own, like in the car or something. He is always bringing it to my husband to read it to him. He also likes to point to the animals and make the sound that the animal makes. We have also given it as a gift. A good purchase to make on Amazon since copies in a bookstore may be worn already -- that's what I found when looking to buy one for a gift.
