Summary: Book Involves Sight, Sound and Touch.
Review: "Peekaboo Kisses" by Barney Saltzberg.

Recently, I gave this book to my granddaughter, Tabitha, (22 months), who was obviously delighted. Each page brings up a different animal: kitten, puppy, sheep, duckling and then a mouse. As you say the words, "Peekaboo!", you open the flap of a page and there is the animal. Each animal has a tiny hole with the appropriate material: the "wool" for the sheep actually looks like some wool. The gray "fur" for the mouse, the last animal, is also a squeaker. An adult finger can cause the "Squeak!" every time, but Tabitha's little fingers had difficulty now and then.

Finally, you come to the last page. As it is opened (with the word, "Peekaboo!", of course), there is a metallic mirror where the young reader can recognize himself. When asked, "Who is that in the book?", my granddaughter would answer with her nickname, "Tabby". So, this book is excellent for both tactile training and self-recognition, while providing entertainment for both adult and child.

Summary: My son loves this book!
Review: I bought this book for my son when he was 10 months old. He is now 16 months and still loves it. It's so tattered and torn that we had to buy him a new one. It't definitly a book you'll read over and over and over.

Summary: Lovin' Peekaboo
Review: I took a chance and bought this- for far more- at a book store for my daughter who was 4 months old at the time. I couldn't believe how much she loved it and loves it still at 7 months. Rubbing the furry animals inside is her favorite part. I find myself getting into the book as well by making the sounds the animal would make. A good deal, price wise, too. The book store was almost double the cost! I plan to buy more of his books soon.

Summary: Great for textures & teaching concept of object permanence
Review: My 10 month old is in LOVE with this book. She squeals with delight when she touches the various animal's fur. Its a great way to introduce various textures, colors and animals. The other reason I bought it was b/c she was going through separation anxiety and playing peekaboo as well as reading peekaboo books has really helped her begin to feel less anxious about not always being able to see me.

Review: My five month old is just learning the concept of peekaboo, and this book gives us both smiles each evening. The large font is good too.

Summary: My 8-month old's favorite book
Review: This book is great for the earliest interactive readers. The illustrations are simple and colorful, and the touch-and-feel parts easy to spot for babies who are just learning the game. There are a variety of textures to touch along with a squeaker and mirror - our daughter loves them all.

Summary: one of my daughter's favorite
Review: This is one of my 13-month-old daughter's absolute favorite books. It's one of those where we have to go through it 4-5 times before she's ready to put it down, and even then she often comes back to this book. Many times I've found her in her room, quietly turning the pages and making noises at the cute animals. I would highly recommend this book.
