No words are needed in this sweet board book. Each page shows an animal covering his or her face. Lift the paws or hooves to see what animal it is. Peek-a-boo! Beautiful illustrations. – IMAGINATION SOUP

 

Italian artist Ferri proves that the delights of peekaboo transcend language in a near-wordless board book that lets readers play the familiar game with seven animals. Hinged paws, wings, and hooves mask the faces of a fox, pig, hedgehog, owl, and other animals; lifting them to the left and right reveals their wide, friendly eyes and soft smiles. The concept couldn’t be simpler, but the warmth and personality that exude from Ferri’s wonderfully furry and fuzzy portraits give the sense that readers have just made half a dozen new animal friends, while a mirror insert ends the book with a playful surprise. – Publishers Weekly (starred review)

 

Though no words appear until the final pages, children will know just what to do here….Simple and lovely, this interactive offering would make a delightful addition to any board-book collection for infants and toddlers. – Kirkus Reviews

 

This uncommonly handsome picture book offers a game that’s endlessly amusing to babies and toddlers. – Booklist

 

With flaps to open, no words that need to be read, and animal friends to play peekaboo with, this novelty title is sure to become a firm favorite with young peekaboo fans. – Through the Looking Glass
