Peek-A-Boo Forest Soft Baby Book

I have purchased several of these for gifts. It is the cutest book, with simple 'sounds' (i.e. crinkly), and fun for baby. The flaps are easy to lift & reveal the hidden animal. The bright colors are so eye catching and the animals have large eyes which catches the child's attention. It has a clip with it so it can be attached to strollers and car seats. Probably the best book I've purchased for baby showers; I get many comments on how much both parents & children enjoy it.

This first book is awesome! It is really soft, easy to clean and durable! The story is cute and rhymes nicely. It does grow nicely into toddlerhood with lots of colors and textures. The pictures are cure and colorful and you can use the book as a tool to help with soft play and teaching. A really versatile toy!

Adorable and great for introducing a new baby to books.

I knew this was the toy/book for my child as soon as I read the description. She already had an obsession with a stuffed animal with crinkle ears, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was right. This book is very colorful and fun to read too (I bought the peekaboo version). This book was a bit bigger than I was imagining, this wasn't really a negative or a positive to me. I washed this before giving it to my 5.5 month old because I knew it would immediately end up in her mouth. I know the directions said not to, but I washed it with All Free and Clear in cold water on gentle and air dried. It held up just fine, but I still don't intend on washing it again unless absolutely necessary. She really doesn't care about what's behind the flaps at the moments, she just cares that the flaps crinkle when touched and feels good on her gums. Still the book is a decent read as far as baby books go, I have certainly read WAY worse. I'm sure as she gets bigger she'll really enjoy the interactive story much more.

Is it carefully, lovingly sewn like the quilt your baby's grandmother made in honor of your baby's first year of life? No. Is it a fun book that was sewn in a factory by workers who needed to get the job done and done fast? Yes. The book is great. It's high quality given the price point. It'll definitely stay together long enough until your baby doesn't need it anymore. (I'll update this review if I'm mistaken.) It's great for babies -- crinkly peek-a-boo flaps, animal pictures and names, rhyming sounds, colorful and eye-catching images, easy-to-turn pages to help develop motor skills. The book has a handle, so you can use your links to connect it to your stroller/carseat. I'm glad I bought it.

I was so happy to find this book. Finally, a soft, textured book that has more than 2 pages to turn! The soft Priddy books, e.g., Squishy Turtle and Fluffy Chick, have only 2 pages to turn, evidently a downgrade from earlier versions which had an additional page. I'm happy to pay an additional 3-4 dollars if it means getting a more substantive book, as you do with this Lamaze book. In addition to Peek-A-Boo Forest being highly attractive, the rhymes are very appealing. My near 7-month old son lights up with big smiles when I read the book. As one review (at this time) mentions, you don't get a variety of textures here, like in the soft Priddy books, but babies really do love the crinkly sound, and there are plenty of other books/toys out there you can buy with multiple textures. What this book lacks in tactile variety it makes up for with quantity of pages and quality of writing/illustrations. My one complaint (and the reason for downgrading my rating to 4 stars) is that on several pages, the animal is not completely covered by the flap, making the "Peek-a-Boo" aspect not quite as surprising as it should be. The flaps need to be either bigger and/or sewn in a slightly different place to optimize coverage of the animal. The error is particularly egregious on the last page with the beaver. Maybe it's just my copy...

This is one of my favorite books of this kind!! My kids and I are obsessed with it. Perfect for baby and even young toddler aged kids.

Baby loves the crinkles and the peek a boo flaps

Cute for the babies.

It was a baby gift.
