Peekity Boo: What You Can Do!

Writing in soft, rolling rhymes, Roemer walks through a toddler’s nighttime routine as doting parents alternate caretaking roles. First, a bath: “There are bubbles to pop./ Toys to kerplop!” After snuggling in a puppy towel, receiving a belly tickle, changing into pajamas, and sharing a bedtime song and a story, it’s crib time—the toddler sips some milk and cuddles with a blanket, teddy bear, and stuffed bunny. After a goodnight hug with both parents, the child heads off to sleep, bathed in comforting light: “Peepity peep./ Shhh... Baby’s asleep.” Wohnoutka’s chalky art creates a sense of homey contentment—like a warm blanket. Ages 2–5. [em](Mar.) [/em]
