Little puppy is hiding, and the holes in the pages are how you find him. This Little Peek-Through board book runs on the game every baby already loves: peek through the die cut hole, guess who is there, turn the page and find out, spotting tortoises, cats and dragonflies along the way before the puppy finally appears.

The pages are textured as well as cut, so small fingers get something to trace and touch on every spread, and the anticipation of the peek keeps a very young child leaning in. It is the same engineering that makes the That's not my books work, and Usborne pitches this charming series at exactly that audience, babies and toddlers from six months up.

Twelve thick board pages by Sam Taplin, illustrated in warm folk art style by Essi Kimpimaki. The right size for a lap, the right weight for a diaper bag, and a lovely new baby or first birthday gift.
