By	Harold McFarland (Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors, "Peeper the Kinkajou" is a feast for the eyes that is sure to keep the attention of young children. With rhyming sentence patterns it tells the story of Kinkajou and his friends. Part of a series, this book introduces him, the anteater, sloth, jaguar, marmoset, and anaconda. For each of them the story line teaches something about their natural habits. "Peeper the Kinkajou" is sure to be one of those books children want to hear again and again and is highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some of Us Sleep All Day ... watch out for us at night!, March 13, 2005

By	ReadingTub Reviews (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

As the sun sets, Peeper heads out to visit wit his other nocturnal friends in the rainforest. Tonight he wants to find something different to do. After two readings, this book was part of our preschooler's daily 'must-haves' at nap time, and often in the evening. Months later, we still get requests to read it. The story moves fast and is packed with lots of tidbits about the animals' behaviors. It's initial attractiveness was likely due in part to Zaboomafu, which is wildly popular in our house, but we are still sharing this one, nearly a year later!
