Summary: Little ones love to play peek-a-boo! With its bright, quirky animals and oversized flaps to lift, Peek-a-Moo! is sure to be a read-aloud favorite. Readers play peek-a-boo with a different animal on each page, guessing what it is, then lifting the flap to find out. Each animal has a different sound that becomes part of the peek-a-boo game: Guess who? "Peek-a-moo!" says the cow. "Peek-a-squeak!" says the mouse. The bold, funny illustrations will keep kids laughing, while the large trim size and sturdy binding will ensure many hours of lift-the-flap fun.
Potential Audience (reading level): k-2; emergent
Genre: Fictional picture book (with interactive flaps)
Topic: Barnyard animals and the sounds they make, guessing game for children
Specific curricular uses: This would be a great read-aloud for kindergarten: have them guess the sounds the animals would make as you read through the book.
Social issues the book addresses: This book addresses life on a farm, interacting with animals and their individual characteristics.
Specific literary elements: The book uses questions to draw readers into the text and guess what sounds the animals make, and uses repetition on every page ("Guess who? Peek-a-")
Interactions and counter actions of text and images: The images in this story are crucial to the understanding of the text because the text does say what the animal is - the child can guess what the animal is and what sound it makes, but then it must fold down the arms of the animal to figure out the correct answer. I love how interactive the images in this book are!
