Peekaboo Jungle

Soft, padded pages with a monkey whose tail moves, a jaguar whose body shifts aside and a toucan whose beak lifts to reveal what's hiding underneath. This is the kind of baby book that gets carried everywhere, chewed thoughtfully, and comes out of the washing machine looking perfectly fine. A genuinely lovely first gift.

We love it because:

• The movable elements are brilliant: three jungle animals with parts that actually do something, which means even very young babies have something to reach for, pull and investigate
• Wee Gallery's bold, high-contrast illustration style is designed specifically for developing eyes, and Surya Sajnani's jungle is particularly beautiful: graphic monstera leaves, deep greens and rich patterns that reward a good long look
• Extra-padded pages make it soft enough for the pram, the play mat or just being clutched and waved around, which is also a development stage
• Machine washable, which is all we really need to say

• 1 cloth book, 8 pages
