Book Reviews of Peek-A Who?
Book Review: Cute, but not great quality
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a really cute book as reviews attest. My son loves it. I will say it probably wouldn't make the best gift since within hours of having received it, the edges began to appear worn. The bright green gave way to white, making it look years old after about a week. We have tons of board books, many second hand from other babies, and this is the oldest looking book in our collection, despite being the youngest. The publisher must use a poor quality process or something, too bad because it's a super cute book. We like to read it as... "peek a who?..." then turn the page, rather than just "peek a..." Not sure why the author didn't maximize on the opportunity to rhyme throughout the book since children love that.Book Review: My Son's Favorite Book-- BY FAR!

When my son was 9 months old, I took him to a bookstore to try to find some new books for vacation. He really likes Karen Katz books, because he loves peek-a-boo and lifting the flaps. When I pulled Peek-a-Who off the shelf, he never wanted me to take it back! I love it because it uses the novelty of the peek-a-boo format, yet there are no flaps to lift and to rip. He ADORES this book, and its easy text and peek-a-boo holes are perfect for him. We have had this book for just over two months and it continues to be a favorite. In fact, it is the ONLY board book we own that looks like it could use a replacement because it is loved so much! I am adding more Nina Laden books to his Amazon wish list!Book Review: An instant favorite!

I got this book as a gift for my daughter who was 8 months old at the time. From the first time we read it she was hooked! For the last month, we have read this book daily at least 15 times! She loves turning the pages and the rhyming really keeps her attention! The awesome thing is the she knows to turn the page after the rhyming word! So we dont have random page flipping! She loves the mirror at the end and looks into the peek a boo window so she can see her eyes then when we reveal the full mirror she gives herself a kiss! I love this book because my daughter can't get enough of it! I feel sorry for the rest of my book collection but I figure they will get their due attention in time.Book Review: Peek-a-zoo!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is difficult to find excellent books for very young children. Peek-a-WHO is a surprising exception! It contains elements that my daughter loves and that I think have helped support her early literacy: It's got nice board pages. It's small for the hands, has few words, and it contains a surprise ending, It's got the notion of guessing by "peeking" through the hole in the middle to guess what's on the other side. It's got big words that a baby can scan. And it's got a repetitive pattern that I think would help kids start to understand parts of sentences by differentiating the same phrase from the different parts. Peek-a-zoo says it all! A valuable addition to a baby's early library.Book Review: Still a favorite 8 years later...
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter got the book before her first birthday (she is almost 9). It was her favorite then...All you had to say was "Peek a WHo?" and she'd go crawling across the house looking for it, and wouldn't return until she found it, and then you had to read it. My second daughter, now age 1, loves it just as much. Yes, it is simple, and there aren't a lot of words, but it engages them and they love to turn the pages. And in response to the post complaining about the presence of a ghost...that is my daughter's favorite page...she turns to it and says "O"...she doesn't see a ghost, she see's cheerios for eyes. It was a winner when my oldest was little, and my youngest loves it too!!!
