Squeak-A-Boo! At the Zoo An Interactive Lift-the-Flap Board Book for Babies and Toddlers by Sally Anne Garland

This interactive board book transforms the classic game of peek-a-boo into a multi-sensory zoo adventure, combining lift-the-flap discovery with engaging tactile elements. Little hands can stroke the soft fur of various animals and press a satisfyingly squeaky belly, creating a cause-and-effect experience that delights. Each sturdy page reveals a new animal friend—a panda, a lion, a monkey, or a tiger—waiting behind a flap. This format masterfully builds anticipation and reinforces object permanence, a key developmental concept for this age group.

The book’s true strength lies in its thoughtful design, which successfully targets multiple learning domains simultaneously. The combination of visual surprise, tactile input, and auditory feedback makes it particularly engaging for curious toddlers who learn through their senses. It’s an excellent choice for developing fine motor skills through lifting and pressing, while the predictable, joyful structure encourages social interaction and vocal participation. This sensory-rich experience will undoubtedly become a repeat favorite, turning early reading into an active, giggle-filled game.
