Review Detail

‘Peek-a-Boo Haiku’ by Danna Smith is a lift-the-flap book with haikus about woodland animals spread throughout the pages. Readers have to guess what animal each haiku refers to, and then lift the flap to see if they were right.

Subtly worded clues are a part of each haiku, and adorable illustrations capture the beauty of the forest and the outdoor world the animals inhabit. Readers will be thrown into the fray easily, allowing them to enjoy the guessing game that leads to figuring out each haiku’s animal when they lift the flap.

The colorful images capture the various seasons and encourage readers to become immersed in the idea of getting to know and love animals that are both new to readers, and some that are already known.
