Peek-a-boo Jungle

by Francesca Ferri

Here’s a brightly illustrated picture book that will certainly make baby laugh! Each page presents a different animal who plays peek-a-boo, and each has a lift-the-flap panel showing an animal with arms raised to cover its face. When baby lifts the flap, he sees the animal’s smiling face. An elephant, a giraffe, a zebra, a hippo, a panda, a crocodile, and a lion each take turns playing peek-a-boo. Then, on the book’s last page, it’s baby’s turn. The lowered flap reveals a reflective surface where baby can see his own face!

Francesca Ferri, Peek-a-Boo Jungle (Barron's, 2006)

Very cute, very simple animal-recognition book aimed at the pre-literate set. Children (at least judging by mine) will enjoy the bold colors and happy-animal illustrations, as well as the mirrored page at the end. Parents may find themselves bored after the fiftieth repetition, but hide it for a week and once it comes back out you'll be fine. *** ½

This is a fun book that my daughter enjoyed, which introduces animals through lift-the-flap peak-a-boo. Still, if you're going to make a book targeted to babies and toddlers, you'd think you could make it a little sturdier and more difficult for tiny hands to tear out all the pages?

I learned that gators and giraffes have bounteous schnozzes.
