Book Review: Peek-a Who?
Summary: 5 Stars
We believe babies recognize some voices even before they are born, but in our earliest interactions with them we love to catch their eyes. "Peek-a Who?" by Nina Laden captures all the joy of this simple game with its mixture of familiarity and surprise. A hole cut in a leafy thicket picture on the board book's cover reveals an owl's eyes peering out setting up the rhyming question and answer begun by the title. Turn aside the cover to find the Owl saying, "Peek-a who?" Turn the page and on the left it says "Peek a" in large yellow type amidst a blue background. On the right is a black and white pattern with a center cutout revealing a matching pattern that invites turning to discover who?-a cow looking at you. The same "Peek a" can be seen through the cutout and "MOO! jumps out below in matching yellow on a purple background setting off the black and white of the cow on the right. Turn the page again to find a green typeface "Peek a" centers on a purple background on the left as the same green on the right has a pattern of black and white eyes matched through another cutout that draws us on to turn and find--a green ghost looking at you saying "Peek a BOO!". This well thought out and carefully designed book makes each part work together to the reader's enjoyment. The scale of the book is small but the type is large, the simulated woodcut illustrations are clear and simple with bold bright contrasting colors. The game's pattern is reinforced by familiar elements introducing surprising elements that become familiar. The whole works together to set up "Peek a " as an invitation to enjoy "reading" together.
Summary of Peek-A Who?
Colorful pictures and simple rhyming texts help children guess what's peeking through the die-cut windows in these two fun board books. The anticipation of what's hiding on the next page and the bright, engaging illustrations will keep youngsters guessing and giggling all the way to the suprise endings.Nina Laden's illustrations in this simple, rhyming board book are truly magical. The format is straightforward: on alternating two-page spreads, the words "Peek a" are repeated, opposite an illustrated page with a die-cut hole, behind which lurks a cow ("MOO!"), a green ghost ("BOO!"), and a mirror (you guessed it, "YOU!"). The youngest readers will delight in trying to guess who--or what--is peeking through the window, and can easily grip the baby-fist-size holes to turn the pages for the answers. The picture of the "ZOO!" is fabulous. Through the hole, all that can be seen is a wild pattern of colors, stripes, and spots. Turn the page, and find a wild kingdom of animals, one in front of the other: peacock, zebra, penguin, cheetah, elephant, and more. Ready for more peekaboo fun? Try Nina Laden's Ready, Set, Go! .
