Children will love to play peekaboo with the adorable animals in this interactive board book
See who’s hiding behind each flap as different animals appear from behind their paws (or wings). One by one you can uncover these beautifully rendered animals, and at the end you'll find a special surprise. See if you can find . . . a fox, a bear, a cat, a porcupine, a dog, a pig, an owl, and . . . you!
"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.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
