This book is fantastic! It's one of those 'must have books' that every parent needs when they have a baby. The peep hole on each page makes the story fun for the baby or toddler, and my little ones love to turn the page through the peep hole. The rhyming is so much fun as it's got a great rhythm to it. It's simply a story through the baby's eyes of what he sees, and my toddler still loves this book.

I can agree that this would be the best ever published book for babies. It is very well illustrated for the older child looking on, but at the same time simply done for your baby. Parents can have fun with this one acting out...the rhymes and what can baby see. There is a peephole on every second page...hence the name peepo! I'm sure baby will want to put his/her finger in the peephole. Great for conversation talking about what baby can see.
