Titre trompeur. Pas de poussins dans le livre 😡

Just delightful, our granddaughter gets so excited when she sees this book.

Much more interesting than lift the flap, because the child has to lift, pull or swipe a tab in order to reveal more treats.

Simple, colourful drawings with lots to talk about - names, colours etc.

Sturdy construction, although I still don't think I would leave a child alone with it because if a pull out gets bent, then it won't work again.

A good quality book with durable pages and slide-and-see mechanisms. The sliding-out pages are prone to damage or falling out. While it requires more developed fine motor skills to interact with the slides, young babies can still enjoy the hiding-and-reappearing surprises by reading along with their parents/caregivers. The book title and cover can be misleading, as "chick" refers not to a baby chicken but to a baby wild bird. The characters in the book are also in the wild, not domestic.

[Tonja Drecker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is part of a series surrounding the peekaboo theme. Each one looks adorable, so I was more than happy to get my hands on this one.

The theme is clear: peek-a-boo! This book dives into the realm of animals and ranges from frogs to dogs to deer and more. It's a sturdy book. Not only the pages with withstand a little mistreatment and love, but even the levers and pop-ups found on every page are well constructed. The illustrations are bright and bold, and have a simplistic, yet, cheerful style. Young readers will recognize the animals and objects easily. The levers and pulls are worked into the scene nicely and add little surprises, which compliment the tale. These are no problem to use and great training for little fingers.

There are two words on each page. The first is always Peekaboo. The entire thing is done in rhyme and makes a nice, flowing read aloud. I did find some of the connections a little stretched (like 'Peekaboo run' with a caterpillar), but young listeners will be caught up in the rhythm and words, and probably not find it odd, in the least.

The ending rounds everything off on a wonderful note and puts a smile on the face. It holds exactly the caring and loving atmosphere, which this age group needs to hear and can never have enough of. So, I do recommend this one for curious little readers out there. I received an ARC and found it so cute.

This series was a sleeper hit for us. Bright, engaging, colorful, and my toddler is absolutely entranced by it. The flaps and pull-outs are sturdy enough for my 2yo, and designed with a sense of whimsy and creativity.

It shares a similar art style to the “Where’s the ___” series, which has been a huge hit over here as well.

Adorable spring time board book for little ones. Cheerful illustrations, rhyming text and interactive features. I love how sturdy this board book is. The moveable parts are great for fine motor development and engaging young bookworms. This is a great addition to a quality board book series.
