Peekaboo Car

Something is hiding behind every flap in Peekaboo Car, and the rhyming text gives a baby just enough of a clue to guess. Camilla Reid writes the series in a short, repeating rhythm that babies latch onto quickly, and the flaps are cut from thick board so they hold up to being worked over and over. Vehicles supply the theme, with each reveal uncovering who or what is behind the next one. The final page carries a mirror, which reliably produces the loudest reaction of the whole reading. Rhythm, repetition and a predictable payoff are what make the format effective at this age, and Nosy Crow has built the series around all three. A closer look: • Rhyming text built on repetition babies pick up fast • Thick board flaps engineered for constant reopening • A vehicle theme carried through every reveal • A mirror on the last page to finish the reading Aimed at babies from around six months and toddlers who already know the series, this Nosy Crow title by Camilla Reid is stocked at Boipoka.
