Peekaboo, I Love You!

Playing peekaboo with babies is such a precious part of those early years. We've written our personalised peekaboo book for babies and toddlers, from newborn right up to three years old. We think the sweet spot for peekaboo is around 18 months, but every baby is special and unique – just like this book!

We had our wonderful writing team of David Cadji-Newby (Lost My Name) and Julia Gray (The Wondrous Road Ahead) working their magic on this book. We think you'll agree the story is simply splendid, and perfect for reading aloud with little ones. The gorgeous illustrations are by Lauren Tobia, an award-winning children's illustrator, who has perfectly captured the fun of playing peekaboo with baby.

Why, yes we do! We think our sleepy personalised story Bedtime for You is a lovely companion to this one. And our mini book testers absolutely adore I Love You This Much – a boundless story of love, made for reading every day. While you're at it, why not explore our entire range of personalized books for age 0 to 3?

Not to worry, intrepid grown-up! Peekaboo is a game you play with babies and toddlers. First, you hide your face – usually behind your hands or a napkin or any other random object you might happen to be holding. Then, you suddenly reappear and say 'Peekaboo!' (in a nice, friendly way – not a scary, shouty way, mind). This causes giggle galore! And then you repeat... and repeat... and repeat. The benefits of peekaboo for babies include teaching them coordination, problem-solving skills, mental stimulation, and – most importantly – having fun!
