The newest offering in Little Brown Kids’ “Snuggle-Me Stories” series is Peek-a-Boo, I Love You by Sandra Magsamen. Featuring Magsamen’s distinctive illustrative style and handwritten text, this 10-page board book invites young children to participate in a game of peek-a-boo.
Each of the five spreads poses a question and invites children to guess which animal is hiding under the flap, which reveals a small amount of the hidden animal. Once the child lifts the flap, the answer, written to rhyme with the question, is revealed.
“Who’s that snug as a little bug?
Peek-a-boo!
A kitty cat snoozing on a rug.”
Board books that provide methods for toddlers to participate are a perennial favorite. Peek-a-Boo, I Love You features a stuffed heart on the cover, which toddlers will poke and squish with delight. The flaps, initially a bit stiff, become easy lifting for little fingers. The most delightful aspect of this book however is the final question, the answer to which is a heart-shaped mirror shows your child his or her own face.
The “Snuggle-Me Stories” series is recommended for children ages three plus but I test read Peek-a-Boo, I Love You with my two-year-old nephew and it quickly became one of his favorites.
Armchair Interviews says: Wonderful story for the wee ones.
