Rod Campbell's classic lift-the-flap book Dear Zoo is a timeless treasure, cherished by toddlers and parents alike for its captivating simplicity and interactive fun. Now, the much-loved story comes to life in an enchanting pop-up edition that adds a new dimension of excitement and surprise to the beloved tale.

As children journey through the pages, they will be delighted to lift the flaps and reveal remarkable pop-up animals with each turn. The story begins with a child writing to the zoo to send a pet. What follows is a series of adorable animals, each one hidden behind a flap, waiting to be discovered and evaluated as a potential pet. From a very tall giraffe to a fierce lion and even a very jumpy frog, the zoo tries its best to send the perfect companion. But will they succeed in finding just the right animal?

The pop-up edition of Dear Zoo retains all the charm and engagement of the original, enhanced by vivid, bold artwork and a catchy, repetitive refrain that makes it an absolute delight for young readers. With a wonderful array of favourite pop-up animals, it not only captivates the imagination but also encourages early literacy through playful interaction.

Dear Zoo is meticulously designed to stimulate a child's curiosity and love for reading. Each page turn invites little hands to explore and discover, making it a wonderful and educational addition to any child's bookshelf. This interactive experience not only brings joy but also aids in the development of motor skills and cognitive abilities.

Ideal for sharing during storytime or as a fun independent activity, The Pop-Up Dear Zoo is a must-have for every young explorer’s library. Its enduring appeal ensures that it will be read and loved for many years to come.
