Description

Rod Campbell's beloved lift-the-flap book Dear Zoo has charmed toddlers and their parents since it was first released in 1982. This timeless classic features a simple yet captivating storyline that encourages young readers to lift flaps and discover various animals sent by the zoo. Each page reveals a new animal, including a monkey, a lion, and even an elephant, as the narrator searches for the perfect pet.

The book begins with the narrator writing to the zoo, requesting a pet. As the zoo sends different animals, children eagerly lift the flaps to unveil which creatures appear next. However, not all the animals are suitable for a pet, leading to a delightful and engaging process of elimination where young readers learn about different animals and why they may or may not make good pets.

With its bright, bold artwork, rhythmic text, and an interactive lift-the-flap format, Dear Zoo is a captivating read that holds a special place in children's literature. The repetitive and catchy refrain, combined with the anticipation of what's behind each flap, ensures that children will want to read this book again and again.

No child's bookcase is complete without a well-worn copy of Dear Zoo. Its enduring popularity among young readers makes it a must-have for every growing child's collection. Young animal lovers who enjoy this book will also find delight in Rod Campbell's Look After Us, another lift-the-flap book that conveys a positive message about conservation and the importance of caring for animals and the environment.
