Table of ContentsReviewsFew will be able to resist this sweet tale of adult incompetence and youthful problem-solving skills.--Kirkus ReviewsCheeky visual humor and a kids-save-the-day plot provide plenty of entertainment.--Publishers WeeklyWaldron's digital illustrations combine flat patches of vivid color, painterly textures, and samples of (intentionally pixilated) photographs, arranged in dynamic composition, all with a decidedly Beatles-era British aesthetic. Each of Peek's obvious missteps is depicted, and children will enjoy searching the illustrations for more visual jokes.

This one packs plenty of fun for shared reading and plenty of detail for repeated, individual exploration.--Booklist Few will be able to resist this sweet tale of adult incompetence and youthful problem-solving skills.--Kirkus Reviews Author InformationKevin Waldron loves to draw animal characters, so when his sketchbook became a paper zoo, he created Mr. Peek to take care of them.
