About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they want to transition their baby or toddler from passive listening to active, tactile participation. It is perfect for those moments of quiet bonding where you want to foster a sense of security through predictable, joyful play. Peek-a-boo Teddy is a foundational interactive board book that mirrors the classic developmental game of peek-a-boo. By lifting sturdy flaps to find a hidden teddy bear, children practice object permanence and fine motor skills in a safe, repetitive environment. The book focuses on themes of curiosity and the reassurance that even when something is out of sight, it hasn't disappeared. It is an ideal first library addition for infants and toddlers under three who are beginning to explore their physical world with their hands and eyes.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, gentle, and safe board book for early childhood development.
Ideal Reader
A ten-month-old to eighteen-month-old who is just beginning to master the 'pincer grasp' and is obsessed with the social interaction of hiding and revealing. It is for the child who giggles every time you hide your face behind your hands.
Parent Prep
No prep is required. This can be read cold. Parents should be prepared to facilitate the physical act of lifting the flap if the child's dexterity is still developing. A parent might choose this after noticing their child has started dropped toys from a high chair to see where they go, or if the child is beginning to show slight separation anxiety and needs a playful way to practice the concept of return.
