Peepo!

Peepo! by Janet and Allan Ahlberg
 
From morning in his cot to breakfast, playtime, a trip to the park, bath time and bed, one little baby watches the busy family world unfolding around him. Each circular peep-through hole reveals a tantalising glimpse of the next scene, inviting children to look, guess and turn the page.
 
Allan Ahlberg’s lilting rhyme and Janet Ahlberg’s richly observed illustrations transform an ordinary day into something full of warmth, humour and things to discover. The story takes place in a working-class British home during the 1940s, with period objects and quiet wartime clues woven into the pictures.
 
Both a comforting first story and a wonderfully detailed book to revisit, Peepo! offers babies, toddlers and their grown-ups a joyful celebration of family life, familiar routines and seeing the world through a young child’s eyes.
