Pop-Up Peekaboo! Puppies

Puppies hide behind every flap, and finding them is what teaches a toddler that things still exist when they cannot be seen. Bright, saturated pictures hold a young child's gaze, and the rhyming lines give an adult an easy rhythm to read in. Each turn of the page sets up the same small ritual of question and reveal, which is exactly the repetition babies want. Working the flaps and the pop-up mechanisms asks for a bit of dexterity, so motor control improves while the game carries on. Notable points: • Peekaboo reveals that introduce object permanence in a concrete way • Entertaining rhymes pitched at children around two years old • Bold colour work designed to keep a restless toddler looking • Thick pages with rounded edges that stand up to teething Suits toddlers and the adults reading with them, and makes an easy choice for a first animal book, available at Boipoka.
