Peek-a-Book: A Lift-the-Flap Bedtime Rhyme

16 pp. | Dial | May, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2639-2 $$10.99
(4) PS Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. This benign bedtime book tracks a little boy's before-bed ritual, from dinner to bath to story to slumber. The gimmick is that on every double-page spread, there's at least one flap that reveals an image corresponding with the spare, fragment-heavy rhymes: "Bubbly bath, / A frog to float. / Peek-a-duck, / Peek-a-boat." The serviceable text is incidental to the toddler-pleasing, flap-filled, candy-colored images.
