Dear Zoo: The Lift-the-flap Preschool Classic

Good book

This Dear Zoo book has become my 2-year-old’s favorite! It’s the flaps that really capture his attention—he gets so excited to lift them. I love that he’s learning his zoo animals at the same time. I remember reading this as a child myself—this is truly a timeless classic that never gets old. The board on the book is well made.

Child loved the book

A lovely book to read to young children to encourage learning. Explore animals and their sounds, talk about sizes and shapes- would the giraffe fit in the box that the frog arrived in for example. There are so many possibilities beyond just reading the story. Children will love to press the buttons to hear the animal sounds and open the flaps to discover which animal arrives. Overall a simple but well written story for younger children that they will enjoy from baby to at least preschool age. I used to read this to my own children and have used it in various childcare settings; I’ve now purchased it again to gift to a friend’s child for their 1st birthday

Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell is an absolute treasure in our family, holding a special place on every bookshelf. I first bought this book for my son, and it quickly became a favorite that we enjoyed together for many, many years. Its charming simplicity, interactive flaps, and the fun of discovering which animal is hiding behind each one never seems to lose its appeal, no matter how many times we’ve read it. I have also purchased countless copies of Dear Zoo for friends over the years, and it has been universally loved and well-received. The story's timelessness and gentle humor make it the perfect gift for young children, and it’s a joy to see it spark the same excitement in other families that it has in ours. Whether you’re introducing it to a new generation or revisiting it for nostalgia, *Dear Zoo* is a book that will always bring smiles and memories.

Perfect what I need

Doesn't take long to read

Lovely book, great size and lovely colours as well, easy to understand and great fun to read, well designed book

Excelente para niños pequeños y que son muy curiosos. Importante cuidar bien, las pestañas. No son frágiles, pero siempre hay que tener cuidado.

Small book but a l9vely read and involvement for the children.

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.

最初はそこまで興味なさそうてしたが、10ヶ月の今では勢いよく仕掛けに反応してくれます。買ってよかったです。おすすめです。
