About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is starting to play peek-a-boo and is fascinated by guessing what things are. This clever, nearly wordless book is a visual game of discovery. The first half invites the reader to look through die-cut 'holes' to guess what object is on the next page. The second half flips the perspective, showing the child 'peeking' out from inside boxes and tents. It nurtures curiosity and visual literacy, showing children that how you see something depends entirely on your point of view. It’s a perfect interactive read-aloud for developing minds, sparking imagination and the simple joy of a correct guess.

Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. The parent's role is to encourage the child to guess, to pause before turning the page, and to share in the delight of the reveal. They can enhance the experience by asking questions about the clues. The parent has noticed their child delighting in games of peek-a-boo, hiding, or pointing out small details in their environment. The child is starting to ask "What's that?" constantly and shows an interest in puzzles or how things work.
