Review:

This book has been one of the biggest hits with both my children - my 16 month old will bring this book to me multiple times a day at the moment, and adores me calling out "Peekaboo!" as he lifts the big cardboard flaps on each page.  Along with the flaps, there's things to feel on each page too - fluffy or fuzzy pieces.

This is a wee bit different than other lift-the-flap books, as the flaps are much sturdier and better suited to the roughness of young children - making it perfectly suited to my two rough-and-ready boys.  

I definitely recommend getting one or two of these books (we also have Bedtime Peekaboo, which is equally as popular) - if your children are a bit old for them now, grab them as a lovely gift for a new baby - they'll get plenty of wear.  Our books are looking rather tatty with so much use now, but it's still holding together!

My rating: 4.3 out of 5

Review:
This book is aimed at children under 2 years of age. It has simple but beautiful photographs and simple text. Babies love lifting the flap and touching the touchy-feely patch under each one. This book, as the title suggests, focuses on body parts like eyes, ears, nose and toes of both children and soft toys. Both my kids loved this book and the others in the series. The books are board books with very sturdy flaps.
Some other titles in the same series are:
Farm Peekaboo
Bedtime Peekaboo
Bathtime Peekaboo
Dress up peekaboo

5/5
