Home > Consumer Reviews > Peekaboo Zoo: A Lift-The-Flap Book (Lamaze : Infant Development System : 18 Months & Up)

I've been reading this to my daughter since she was 3 months despite the 18 month advisory. It is colorful, interactive and teaches, all in a sing song, rhymey way. No other book I've read my daughter so far has delighted like this one. Every peekaboo gets her to smile and laugh. On every page is a lift the flap with peekaboo underneath. Her favorite....Who's the tallest in the zoo....Here's a clue.....Peekaboo....under which you find the giraffe, of course. It continues on in this manner until the end with.... Monkey see, Monkey do....I see you...Peekaboo....under which you find a mirror. It's not very clear but my daughter loves it the same. I think it appeals to her because it's shiny. I usually have to read this 2 or 3 times before she's tired of it. It's one I won't grow tired of. I can't wait till she'll be able to enjoy the actual zoo. She might even be able to name some of the animals!!

This is my 11 month old daughter's favorite book, and it has been for 2 months running. The illustrations are very bright and colorful, and the flaps are large and sturdy enough to stand up to much bending and grabbing. The book is suitable for younger babies who like flaps and animals, and there is a more complex storyline to entertain older toddlers.

My little guy received this for his 1st birthday and just loves it! He hasn't yet been able to rip the flaps off - as he has already done with so many of our other books. He enjoys the bright colors, lifting the flap to "peek-a-boo", checking out the different animals at the zoo and trying to open the owl's two flaps/wings. A lovely book.

My son received this book as a gift for his first Christmas and has loved it ever since. It says it's for 18 month olds, but we started reading it when my son was 8 months old. He's now almost 3 and still loves it.

My son is also autistic and I would highly recommend this book for parents of autistic or developmentally delayed children. The story is very attention-grabbing and the flaps provide the anticipation needed to stimulate spontaneous speech.

Great book!

This is my son's favorite. It is so fun to watch him learn with this interactive book. He is 7 mo. old and loves to open the flaps. It is very colorful and it seems the flaps with hold up for a long time. This book is better than any toy we have to calm him when he is fussy. I plan to include this with baby shower gifts in the future.
