Guess Who? Peekaboo Panda and Other Animals

Chris Inns Guess Who? Peekaboo Panda and Other Animals; Kingfisher 2006 ISBN 0753459515 $5.95 (Preschool)


Peekaboo Panda, by Chris Inns, is a darling book for preschool children. Peekaboo Panda is a lot like his other book Peekaboo Puppy. Inns carefully crafts a nice tempo and rhyme to give clues to the reader what animal is hiding behind the flaps of the board book. The art work, while at first glance looks simple and cute, helps the book move along and makes it interactive for children to explore these different animals. He uses bright colors, and simple lines, and double-page images. The colors he uses gives each page a mood, and the lines encourage the reader’s eye to focus on the flaps in which one of the five animals are hiding.
