Bathtime Peekaboo!: Touch-And-Feel and Lift-The-Flap

This is the first book that my son loved... from the time he was a few months old till now at 19 months he still loves it. I think he feels proud of himself that he can share a role in reading the book. He turns to each page.. he can EASILY open up the flap because the flaps are large and sturdy and he loves saying BOO! to all the neat things he finds and can touch. I really feel that because of this book my son grew a love for reading and i often find him reading and playing with this book himself. The book is holding up very well even though it is the most read book in our house.

My child received this book as a gift, and being very concerned about my child's education wanted a variety of books to read my child. This book is the one he wants to read. He LOVES this book. It allows him to turn the pages and be "surprised" at the next item, using his motor skills as well. If I read another book to him, Bathtime Peekaboo must be read before and after each book. I don't know why but he just laughs and enjoys himself totally reading this book. I never would have bought it for my child, but now seeing him with this book am looking at purchasing the others like it in the collection.

We own Baby Says, Bedtime, Bathtime, and Playtime Peekaboo books. Our daughter is particularly attached to Baby Says and Bedtime Peekaboo. She became attached to these books around 9 months of age and still reads them daily and she's 20 months old now. She loves opening the flaps and feeling each item. Bathtime and Playtime Peekaboo don't seem to stimulate her as much in the touch department, but she still likes looking at them. She has spent countless hours looking through the books herself. Unfortunately she ripped several pages out when she was younger and are now taped back in. They are sturdy but when a child is determined to rip a board book, it will happen. These are must have books. So much so we are ordering Farm and Dress Up Peekaboo.

she loves them- it allows her to be interactive- opening each page. Since she can't read/understand, it's a way for her to be a part of the "reading" process. she opens each flap and touches/feels the page with the new texture. she loves it, they're her favorites. I would say the bedtime and playtime and bathtime are better than the "baby says peekaboo" b/c i think she likes all the toys she finds on the pages, whereas that one is revealing babys. but she still likes the whole process of all the books.

I bought this after my 10 month old showed an interest in another "lift the flap" book. He adores this one. He spends as much time alone with it as he does his favorite toys. He remembers the pages and goes back to them to lift the flap to see the duckie and frog, etc. underneath. It's a great way to get small infants interested in books. Now my son runs his fingers down the pages of all his books in the expectation he can lift up something to see what is underneath.
