Rod Campbell’s classic lift-the-flap book Dear Zoo has been a firm favorite with toddlers and parents alike ever since it was first published in 1982.Young readers love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent—a monkey, a lion, and even an elephant! But will they ever find the perfect pet? With bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain, and a whole host of favorite animals, Dear Zoo is a must for every child’s bookshelf. Review: Read, act and emote- babies and toddlers will really like this book - I have had this book for the last two years and it has been a big hit, first with my first-born and then again with my second born. This is how we read this book: I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet- They sent me an elephant, he was too big: my toddler extends her arms They sent me a giraffe, he was to tall- she raises her both hands They sent me a lion, he was to fierce- she roars like a lion They sent me a camel, he was too grumpy- she pouts They sent me a snake, he was scary- she shudders They sent me a monkey, he was too naughty- I tickle her and she giggles They sent me a frog, he was to jumpy- she jumps They sent me a dog, he was perfect, so I kept him- together we blow a kiss... I have also gifted this book couple of times and each time it has been a big hit with the babies as well as toddlers. Would highly recommend it. Review: Little zoo in your hands! - This is the very first time I am editing my review. Previously I had given four star. But this gem deserves five star. Previous review: It's really a nice book for babies who love animals. I gifted this book to my little one on his first birthday. He recognizes all the animals and loves to open flip-flaps. Book is quite sturdy too. One can make it more interesting by asking questions, illustrating more about animals. Why I edited my review: After six months of use it still keeps my toddler angaged. He still enjoys this book alot. Why are we expecting some extra ordinary stories every time? Some times simple story are enjoyable too.

Go for it
Very interesting and interactive book. Bought it for my baby when he was 3 months old to read to him. Even now at 8+ months, when he crawls away, he turns around and comes to me when I start reading the book to him or playing the sounds.

Absolute joy for 2 year olds
My 2 and a half year old son absolutely loves this book. He likes opening the flaps and calls out the name of animals all by his own , the flaps are a bit fragile however much to my surprise the flaps have withstood my son's rough handling for about 2 weeks now

Very good book for toddlers
My child loves to read this book. Very cute book with a simple story, reaches about different animals and basic language development. He keeps picking up this book from his book shelf to read it again and again. I would highly recommend this book for kids between 2 to 4

Baskı kaliteli çizimler sade kolay okunuyor, tekrarlar var bebeğin öğrenmesi için iyi, kullanışlı kelimeler var. Ben sevdim. Uyguna aldım, son üründü sonradan zamlanmış. Uyguna aldığıma sevindim
