A gripping read that challenged my perspective on the world.

Bear really popped out of nowhere. Too scary

This is an interactive book that would be great not only for babies, but toddlers as well. The bright colors of the graphics and pull tabs are engaging. My only criticism would be that the title makes me think it is a book about bears - a better title would be 'Peekaboo Forest' since it goes through various creatures and nature.

Play peekaboo in this adorable board book filled with pull tabs and sliders. I appreciate the appeal to babies with the solid colored backgrounds and simple illustrations combined with the sturdiness of the sliders (no torn flaps here!).

A colorful board book with sliders and a mirror for toddlers and babies who enjoy peekaboo. Little ones will enjoy the push and pull of sliders to reveal a variety of forest animals.

My 9 month old adores this book. She gets super excited whenever she sees it and and needs to flip through the pages multiple times. It also seems to taste good.

An excellent book to help develop fine motor skills. The side-to-side and up and down sliders moving animals and their eyes is full of surprises on each page.

This is a cute pull-the-tab, lift-with-a-finger book. The illustrations are bold and engaging and the words are short and sweet. I like the way it rhymes and the colorful pictures. Little ones will love the surprise mirror at the end!

*Thanks to the publisher for providing this book to SWON Library Consortium for professional review.*

This peekaboo book about bears and the forest uses slide-and-see mechanisms, mostly pop-up slides. It's fun to read and to interact with. It'd be more fun if there were a plot or more bear-related characters, rather than just random forest animals. The mirror at the end is a nice surprise.
