About this deal

So while his Mother is concentrating hard on cleaning, he is aware of numerous events and objects around him catching his attention. My daughter loves this book as the well detailed large pictures help her to envisage what he is seeing. Also she has a baby brother who is of similar age, so it helps her to relate to the story. She always relates this story to our family, so I would be the dad and her brother would be the baby and so on. It could encourage children to loo at the importance of family. I believe it could also help children and adults to see life through differing perspectives. Develop a curiosity about changes within living memory and the ways in which we can find out about these changes. Allan Ahlberg has published over 100 children's books and with his late wife Janet, created many award-winning children's picture books. The Baby's Catalogue was inspired by their daughter, Jessica. The Ahlbergs' books are nursery bookshelf standards and have been the recipient of worldwide acclaim and awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal.

There's a reason this book is still popular, especially with younger readers and their teachers, despite recently celebrating its 40th anniversary. 'Peepo' is a time machine - the "it's bigger on the inside" kind! Excellent book to have as part of a child’s early years, and I’m sure it will cause much excitement every time it is read! I do feel it can be used with slightly older children as well. You could discuss the perspectives of other characters in the book, for example, ‘what do you think Mum is thinking?’ and so on. This story is set a few decades ago. As an adult, I enjoyed looking at the contrast in modern and post-World War settings in the family home in Britain. I love the way this book shows family unity. Most young children will be able to relate to a character, or relate a family member to a character the book has portrayed. My nieces who have a 6-month-old brother LOVE it as they imagine him as the baby in the book and try to guess what he is seeing and describe it to me.You couldn't ask for a more colourful snapshot of daily life in the past with which to compare homes and lives today. Readers get the sense that everything in the Peepo house has a purpose and is loved by its family, with nothing carelessly thrown away. A book to last a lifetime . . . this is a perfect book for sharing' - Nursery World Read more Details Peepo is a picture book told from the perspective of a baby boy. He seems to be at the age of around 9/10 months old. Just around the age where he is able to sit up himself and is beginning to notice different and fascinating things around him. Things that perhaps the older children and adults are not noticing as they are so busy doing different things. For example,

Children read ‘Peepo!’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg and compare and contrast similarities and differences between then and now. Children then create a time capsule using their pictures and writing from Session 1 for future generations. Janet and Allan Ahlberg's story Peepo is based on the perspective of a baby boy. Throughout the day and the story, the baby is watching what is going on around him, for example his dad sleeping, mum cooking, grandma putting out clothes and so on. The perfect marriage of writing and illustrating. Absolutely love the details, which are so true to life (the baby watches the tassels on his Grandma's shawl waving in the breeze).As ever with the Ahlbergs the story is witty and the illustrations and format of the book are not simple or boring. A delightful and interactive peek-a-boo book for babies and young children. The book also hides a deeper message about family love in wartime England. Peepo! is a modern classic that continues to delight generations of babies and toddlers and their parents. Look through the holes to spot details from the wonderful illustrations. Peepo! A perfect gift for new babies and parents, no home should be without a copy!

Just read this classic to my baby daughter twice as part of our new nightly routine. At 9 (nearly 10) weeks old, she doesn’t understand yet (she was hardly awake!) but in time I hope to enjoy this book even more with her. It’s rhyme is catchy and it has so much detail in the artwork that it could easily become a game to find different images in it. Janet Ahlberg (1944-1994) was a British children's book illustrator, and the co-creator, together with her husband Allan Ahlberg, of the best-selling Jolly Postman series. Born as Janet Hall in Yorkshire in 1944, she studied at Sunderland Technical College, where she met Ahlberg. The two married in 1969, and began to work together, publishing their first co-venture - The Old Joke Book - in 1976. She won the 1978 Kate Greenaway Medal from the British Library Association - an award recognizing the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject - for Each Peach Pear Plum. This is a classic that can be read and re-read. We can always spot something new and find some fresh surprises every time we look at the pictures.
