Back into the world of picture books!

Peekaboo Jungle and Peekaboo Pets are cloth books with lovely, understated illustrations and foldaway panels hiding small surprises for young children. Made for children too young to read, there's an appealing textural element. I particularly liked the fish illustration from Peekaboo Pets).

I accessed digital ARCs, so I can't comment on production quality, which may be a factor when considering books made for people small enough to prefer to chew on them rather than read them! I wouldn't have minded some brighter colors—the muted colors seem more to an adult's aesthetic than to a baby's—but the design is clean and consistent. They'd be great infant gifts, especially paired with a related plushie.
