FAQs: General
What makes your storybook albums unique?
Our Peek-A-Photo storybook albums feature a patent-pending design that combines storytelling with personal photos in an interactive way. Unlike traditional photo albums or children's books, our books have concealed photo pockets behind lift-the-flap elements that create a delightful "peek-a-boo" experience. Each flap is integrated into the story, making the discovery of family photos an exciting part of reading time while strengthening the bond between children and their loved ones.
What age range are your books suitable for?
Our storybook albums are designed specifically for children ages 0-3. The durable construction (board book or cloth options) and interactive elements are perfect for little hands, while the personalized photo experience creates meaningful connections during these important developmental years.
How do I personalize the book with my family's photos?
The magic of our books comes from the personal touch you add with family photos! Here's how it works:
1. Purchase: Select your favorite Peek-A-Photo storybook album. Each book includes FIVE photo pockets hidden behind interactive flaps inside the book.
2. Print Photos: Print your special family photos in the correct orientation: landscape (6x4") for Cloth Books or portrait (4x6") for Board Books. Most photo services like CVS, Walgreens, or online printing companies offer same-day or delivery options.
3. Personalized: Simply slide each photo into its designated pocket. The board book tabs make insertion easy - pull out the tab, insert your photo, and push the tab back in to secure it. The best part? You can swap photos anytime, keeping the experience fresh and exciting for your little one.

How do I get my photos printed for my Peek-A-Photo book?
After placing your order, you'll receive a thank you email with helpful information about the photos needed for your book. You'll need 5 landscape photos (6x4") for the Cloth Book or 5 portrait photos (4x6") for the Board Book - one each of Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, & Family. For your convenience, our email includes a link that connects you to photo printing services at CVS or Walgreens where you can enjoy same-day pickup, but you're welcome to print your photos anywhere that's most convenient for you. This way, your photos will be ready when your special book arrives!

How do I insert photos into the books?
Board Book: Each page has a small tab that can be pulled out to reveal the photo pocket. Simply pull the tab, insert your 4x6" photo, and push the tab back in to secure the photo. The photos will then be visible through the openings when the flaps are lifted. We've designed this to be simple enough that you can easily change photos as your child grows.
Cloth Book: Just insert the photo into the landscape photo sleeve, and you are ready to enjoy!

Can I customize the content of a book?
The story and illustrations in each book remain the same, but you personalize the experience by choosing which family photos to include. This allows each child to have a unique connection to the story through familiar faces of their loved ones.
Are your cloth books machine washable?
Our cloth books are spot-clean only to preserve the photo pockets and structural elements. Board books can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. We don't recommend submerging either type of book in water.
Can I order in bulk for a special event or as corporate gifts?
Yes! We offer special pricing for bulk orders of 12 or more books. Please contact our customer service team for more information about wholesale pricing at support@peekaphoto.com
FAQs: Child Development & Learning
Can I change the photos in my interactive photo book?
Absolutely! One of the best features of our personalized photo books is the ability to easily swap photos. Update pictures for birthdays, holidays, or as your family grows. This keeps the reading experience exciting and helps children stay connected with their expanding circle of loved ones.
What age is best for introducing lift-the-flap photo books?
Our peekaboo photo albums are designed for ages 0-3, but babies as young as 4-6 months can begin enjoying the sensory aspects. Around 8-12 months, children start recognizing faces in photos and understanding the peek-a-boo concept. By 18+ months, toddlers can actively lift flaps and anticipate discovering familiar faces.
How do peekaboo photo books help with child development?
Our interactive photo books support multiple developmental areas: facial recognition through repeated photo exposure, fine motor skills through flap manipulation, cognitive development through cause-and-effect understanding, language development through naming family members, and emotional bonding through positive associations with reading and family.
Will my baby actually look at photos in the book?
Yes! Babies are naturally drawn to human faces, especially familiar ones. Our lift-the-flap photo albums capitalize on this natural interest by presenting family photos in an engaging, interactive format. The peek-a-boo element adds excitement and helps maintain attention longer than static photo displays.
Are Peek-A-Photo books safe for babies and toddlers?
Yes! All our interactive photo storybooks are safety tested and certified to meet ASTM F963 and CPSIA standards for children's products. Our books are specifically designed for ages 0-3 and contain no small parts that could pose choking hazards. The durable construction withstands rough handling by little hands.
Are these good baby shower or first birthday gifts?
Our peekaboo photo books make exceptional presents for baby showers, first birthdays, holidays, or welcoming new family members. They're especially meaningful for grandparents, aunts, uncles, or distant family members who want to help babies recognize them. The books create lasting keepsakes that families treasure for years.
What's the difference between cloth books and board books?
