User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Love this book!
My 14 month old daughter adores this book. She anticipates the next page and she loves the sounds, the rhyme, the mirror at the end. The illustrations are adorable. It is one of my new faves!
3 Stars Cute, but not great quality
This is a really cute book as reviews attest. My son loves it. I will say it probably wouldn’t make the best gift since within hours of having received it, the edges began to appear worn. The bright green gave way to white, making it look years old after about a week. We have tons of board books, many second hand from other babies, and this is the oldest looking book in our collection, despite being the youngest. The publisher must use a poor quality process or something, too bad because it’s a super cute book. We like to read it as… “peek a who?…” then turn the page, rather than just “peek a…” Not sure why the author didn’t maximize on the opportunity to rhyme throughout the book since children love that.
5 Stars Great for babies!
I bought this book for my almost 2 yr old daughter and she loves it! Although, I think its more appropriate for a baby. It has great art work but not many words. It has thick cardboard pages,very sturdy and its small in size so it would be great for a baby that is learning to hold on to things.
5 Stars Peek-a-zoo!
It is difficult to find excellent books for very young children. Peek-a-WHO is a surprising exception! It contains elements that my daughter loves and that I think have helped support her early literacy: It’s got nice board pages. It’s small for the hands, has few words, and it contains a surprise ending, It’s got the notion of guessing by “peeking” through the hole in the middle to guess what’s on the other side. It’s got big words that a baby can scan. And it’s got a repetitive pattern that I think would help kids start to understand parts of sentences by differentiating the same phrase from the different parts. Peek-a-zoo says it all! A valuable addition to a baby’s early library.
5 Stars peek-a-who? #1 fun!
THIS MAY SOUND A LITTLE ODD, BUT I TOTALLY LOVED THIS BOOK! I’M A 55 YR OLD GRANDMOTHER AND WHEN I FIRST READ THIS TO MY GRANDSON OF 18 MONTHS, I WENT “CRAZY” FOR IT. I THINK IT WAS WELL DONE FOR SUCH A SMALL NUMBER OF PAGES AND I MUST ADMIT–MY GRANDSON LIKED IT, TOO. A REAL CUTE BUY.
This book is adorable. I couldn’t believe how much fun my son had while reading it. Most books don’t interest him what so ever, but Peek a Who was so brightly illustrated and well thought out. I have to admit, even at 32 years old, i was still engaged in the story and anticipating what happens next. I think Peek a Who would appease anyone who knows how to have fun. I highly recommend the book for all children, i absolutely adored it!
