What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a purely secular, gentle experience with no sensitive topics. It focuses entirely on positive social reinforcement and the joy of discovery.
Ideal Reader
A twelve to eighteen month old who is just beginning to master the mechanics of lifting flaps and who giggles at the sudden reappearance of familiar faces. It is also excellent for a toddler who might be experiencing mild separation anxiety and needs a playful reminder that things (and people) return after they disappear.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is helpful if the parent is ready to use an animated voice and physically mimic the peek-a-boo motions to enhance the multisensory experience. A parent might choose this after seeing their child start to hide behind their hands or a blanket, or perhaps after a particularly difficult drop-off at daycare where the child struggled with the concept of 'coming back.'
