Peek-a-boo What?
Peek-a-boo isn't a baby's favorite game just by chance: after a first birthday, a baby begins to understand that even when something isn't in his sight, it still exists. He expects that a person or an object will reappear eventually -- and when the anticipated finally happens, he's delighted. This book, with flaps to lift and see-through die cuts, will help little ones solidify object permanence.
