\nWe played a little peekaboo guessing game with our first book Peekaboo Morning<\/strong> by Rachel Isadora.\u00a0\u00a0 The infants had to anticipate who the baby in our beautifully illustrated story would see next.\u00a0 Rachel Isadora’s books use everyday family experiences to celebrate ethnic diversity.\u00a0 The illustrations and text are bright and clear making them wonderful for babies.<\/p>\n

In \u00a0Nancy Tafuri\u2019s, Spots, Feathers & Curly Tails<\/strong>, the babies got some visual and verbal clues to help them guess the animals in the book.\u00a0 The brief text and strong, simple visuals make this a perfect guessing book for babies.\u00a0 Great for building anticipation and teaching animal identification.<\/p>\n

The babies had fun playing peekaboo with the animals behind the circle, square, rectangle and triangle.\u00a0 I used a handheld flannel board to make it easier for each infant to see the shapes & the pair of “peeking” eyes.<\/p>\n

Little Miss Muffet<\/p>\n
Sat on a tuffet,<\/p>\n
Eating her curds and whey;<\/p>\n
Along came a spider<\/p>\n
Who sat down beside her<\/p>\n
And frightened Miss Muffett away.<\/p>\n
