Peep!: A Little Book About Taking a Leap

40 pp. | Feiwel | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-312-36915-6 $12.99
(4) K-3 Out for a walk, mama hen and her brood come to a sidewalk's edge. Peep's sisters make the leap, but he chickens out. Electric yellow and green watercolors spill through the delicate line drawings. The text occasionally breaks the boundaries of the pages (designed by Molly Leach) to echo Peep's panic and eventual triumph. An effective (though purposeful) depiction of overcoming fear.
Reviewer: Hannah Rodgers Barnaby
