Written and illustrated by Nina Laden

“With its simple rhyming text, vibrant pictures, “peekaboo” windows, and small board-book format, Ready, Set, Go! is ideal for curious young minds and hands. On alternating two-page spreads, the words “ready/set” are repeated, opposite an illustrated page with a die-cut hole. Readers guess what’s behind each window, then turn the page to discover the text (“ROW!,” “BLOW,” “GROW!” etc.) and charming illustrations of a comically desperate sailor oaring away from circling sharks, a little girl blowing luminous bubbles. There’s also a fantastic spinning flower that changes from yellow to purple with the turn of a tab. The book is sturdy enough to withstand the many happily clutching fingers that are bound to make their way into the baby-fist-size holes. For more peekaboo fun, investigate Nina Laden’s Peek-a Who?.”
