Three babies play peekaboo with animal friends in this simple question-and-answer board book.

The simple and repetitive format of this board book gives it high appeal for very young readers, who also get to play along. The question "What game does baby want to play?" and its answer, "Baby says, PEEKABOO!" are repeated with three different baby-and-animal pairs. The final page features a mirror with an invitation for readers to say "PEEKABOO" too. The illustrations feature photographs of babies (none with dark skin) and animals against an all-white background with clip-art-style props such as a box and a beach bucket digitally collaged in. Thankfully, the babies and animals are adorable, because these embellishments are decidedly lackluster. The repetition of the text and the familiarity of the peekaboo game make it an appropriate read for infants and young toddlers, who will also enjoy gazing at themselves and their caregivers in the mirror at the book's end. A companion title, Who Says Hippity Hop?, asks readers which animal says the titular phrase, passing up various farm animals until readers land on the correct hopping creature. Easter baskets and eggs accompany the photographs in this one, which also includes a mirror at the end. It is both nonsensical in its premise and less engaging for infants and toddlers than the more versatile Peekaboo.

A pleasant-enough diversion, but the game without the book has more staying power. (Board book. 6 mos.-2)
