A few weeks before Christmas, a tiny golden puppy is born. One fateful day, her life changes forever when a kind man takes her home and welcomes her into his family. She is always peeking, so they give her the perfect name: Peek!
However, when the children find a present with a tag that reads "Don't Peek," it leads to confusion. As the children repeat "No peeking!" and "You can't peek!" in the days leading up to Christmas, Peek is left feeling exhausted from constantly thinking they are yelling for her. What will happen when they decide to change Peek's name?

Communication: Don't Peek shows how misunderstandings can arise when we don't consider how our words and actions affect others. It encourages children to be mindful of what they say and to communicate with kindness and clarity.
The Magic of Christmas: Set during the holidays, Don't Peek captures the joy that surrounds Christmas. It invites readers to celebrate the wonder, joy, and excitement that the season brings, as well as the comfort that can be found in family and togetherness during this time of year.
