I wasn't going to use this at lap time today, but I had a caretaker walk in with two babies as I finished Peekaboo, Blueberry!, and the group was being so good I thought I would sneak in one last book since she had made the effort to come. It kept the attention, but I don't think it did quite as well as it might of since it was after Peekaboo, Blueberry!.5/2/12
Well, all the copies of Peekaboo, Blueberry! are lost so I used this again this year. 4/3/13
Used as the first book for lap time and it was a huge hit. 4/7/15

It is a mixtuThis is really a lap book, but I had one child left after all the others took off, so I shared it with her. She was quite taken with it. It is a mixture of peekaboo and body identification. "Where is Blueberry's ears?" "Here they are." It also has soft fuzzy parts on the cover and a doorbell sound at the end.
A child and a different mother both wanted to check this out after I used it in lap time. 5/1/12
This was a month late, but I used it during my spider story time anyway since the toddler, wanted to play on the early learning computer and the mother was threatening to leave. I enticed them both to story time with Silly Spider! and then used Peekaboo, Blueberry! Then the toddler had forgotten about the computer and we had a normal story time. 5/21/13

"Tommy is not himself today. He's lost his T R U C K!" An alert reader might notice Bowser running off with things. I had to go re-read the story to notice. I found the rhymes fun and thought the character spot on. I think I'll try this in my January toy story time. 5/1/12
Well running low on story time ideas so doing toys now. One alert boy noticed the dog taking things while I was reading it. 12/19/12
Used again 1/14/14. Good for Letter Knowledge.
This was the life saver, the only book that was a hit in story time today. 12/23/14

This worked very well in Lap Time. Even with one page torn (I got back from vacation and didn't leave myself time to pre-read.) Should be at least a 3.5. I might even boost it to 4 stars. 4/22/14
