Puffin Hardback : Age 3 - 5 years
Awards Parents Magazine Best Book for Babies
Synopsis With the help of strategically placed holes on the page the reader of this brilliantly conceived book can see exactly what the baby sees, at various stages through the day: his father sleeping, his mother making breakfast, his sisters out playing. All the details of a young child's day are here, to be shared and talked about and enjoyed. Although Janet and Allan Ahlberg have a child of their own, Jessica, Peepo! is actually based on Allan Ahlberg's memories of his own childhood. Peepo! is also based on the classic game that all parents play with their babies, and would most certainly invent for them if it didn't exist.
Once again, Janet and Allan Ahlberg - the award- winning team who produced Each Peach Pear Plum - have created a work of exceptional appeal to children, with Janet Ahlberg's superlative pictures enhancing every page.
