978-0140503845, RRP £5.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Peepo! (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

The Ahlbergs' books always have something new to discover at each reading and with Peepo! this is especially true. Comprising seven four page sequences with a rhyming text, the book shows the busy day of a 40s wartime family through the eyes of a baby - and the peepholes cut in the pages. There is a wealth of detail to spot both in the main spreads and in the corners of the borders which frame the other pages. The text highlights much of this detail and draws the reader into the pictures encouraging further close scrutiny. Together they add up to a delicious and satisfying treat for child and adult alike.
