Peepo!


Ahlberg, J., & Ahlberg, A. (1983). Peepo! Harmondsworth, Eng.: Puffin Books.

Recommended Age:1+
Format: Hardcover

This book follows a baby from all the situations and places that babies would be in. From his crib, and high chair etc. Each line with the baby starts "Here's a little baby 1,2,3.." Then goes on to ask what he sees from the location he is in. There are peek-a-boo holes cut out from the question giving a glimpse of what he sees. The next page then shows the entire image and names all of the things that the baby sees. The illustrations are busy, and the house looks like children live there. The busy images will give children something to look at, and looking for the things the text says he sees is fun for kids. The text is not too long and young children and  even older children will like looking at the illustrations. By the illustrations the story seems to be happening in an earlier time period. It is a great story for young toddlers and preschoolers alike.
