Peekaboo Bugs: A Hide-and-Seek Book

FROM OUR EDITORS

The Barnes & Noble Review
Spot a new bunch of those popular big-eyed bugs with the squiggly antennae, and you'll know artist David A. Carter is back with another of his inventive books! This time, the little bugs are the stars of his lively lift-the-flap Peekaboo Bugs.

Preschoolers are challenged to find the colorful bug underneath everyday objects, such as a red tomato, a turquoise bowl, or a brown radio. Each of the nine pages is devoted to a bright color and includes five flaps; lifting them reveals even more surprises beneath, with one of them being the special bug. What's more, a wheel on the side of each page allows the friendly critter and the objects to find new secret locations.

This endearing boredom-zapper will provide curious readers with plenty of amusement. They'll be hollering "Peekaboo!" as they uncover the insect behind its hiding place, and parents will be grateful for the memory, object, and color recognition practice for their little ones. An entertaining hide-and-seek book that sets a cheery tone for reading! (Matt Warner)

Colorful bugs printed in rich foil are hidden beneath 45 flaps. Young children will love playing peekaboo and looking for a different color bug on each page. As an added bonus, each page has a movable wheel to change the location of the items beneath the flaps, so the book can be played with again and again for a new experience each time. Simple objects, bold colors, and lots of peekaboo surprises add up to education and enjoyment for the youngest Bugs fans.
