PEEK-A CHOO-CHOO! is a cute board book. It features sturdy pages and a darker, richer palette than other boardbooks.

There are four pages to every vignette. The first page is a solid color with the words 'Peek a' on it. The second page features the main part of a picture BUT there's a cut out so you see part of a picture on the fourth page. The third page has a word that 'connects' with the picture construct. So...

PEEK A...
Choo-choo!
Canoe!
Shoe!

And more.

The boardbook offers details in the pictures that an adult can talk about. Here's a duck, waterlily, cattails, goose, and a dog in a canoe :]

I found it fun to read aloud. I thought there was variety to the images and it wasn't always clear what the mystery object on the fourth page was going to be. So fun, and different from the standard boardbook themes.

It ends with a 'mirror' which babies and toddlers, in my experience at least, always love. (Be sure to take off the protective clear sheet off of the mirror --which protects from scratches until you get it-- and throw it away before giving the book to a young child.)
