Who IS that hiding? Lift the flaps to play peekaboo with babies!
Is there someone under that big hat? Behind the stack of blocks? Beneath the blanket? Every baby loves playing peekaboo — and here is the perfect board book to keep the youngest of readers satisfied. Simple (and simply endearing) illustrations show partially hidden babies engaged in familiar activities, while shaped flaps are just the right size for little hands to explore.
"I’m French and studied fine and applied arts at Strasbourg University. I taught applied arts before becoming a freelance illustrator, first of all for editorial clients in Paris. When I moved to London in 2000 I developed my illustrations for children and since then have been working exclusively on children’s picture books.
If you’d like more information about my work, please drop me a line. I’m a member of the Association of Illustrators."
This is an exciting book. Each page has revelations! It does become repetitive after a while, and the revelations are strongly hinted. No spoilers, but the ending was quite shocking!
Yes, I am grumpy today because of vertigo and seeing crap get awards at ALA, but I think it's a legitimate grip that the babies are not really hiding! You can see them plainly!
Obviously their parents have been so busy looking up "Brainy Baby" apps on the IPads they have not taught them this basic game.
Oh, well. The flaps are the usual sort that will tear in 1 or 2 uses and this one will end up in the discard heap anyway....
