[Lynn Davidson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun board book with flaps. The cover, and each page turn, displays a turn-down flap to see the baby playing peek-a-book! So cute.

[Connie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very simple, very repetitive book, well-suited for a 12-month (or younger! Or older, of course) child.

Especially since the flaps are the strongest flaps known to mankind. We bought this book used, we've had it several years now, and the flaps have never, ever, ever ripped. Ye gods.
