Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps

Product Information

Regardless. Is it a bit hypocritical of me to be endorsing this book, based on my ethical beliefs that animals are not toys to be swapped, sold on, imprisoned or treated as inanimate objects, blah, blah, blah. Am I delivering a dark, subconscious message of irresponsibility to my child when I read her this? My 10 month old is still loving this book - we got him it when he was 2 months old. Amazing to now see him now able to lift he flaps and am sure he knows the animals. A lovely book and a must for the book box/shelf. A fantasic book which Rufus thoroughly enjoys. He is always eager to lift the flaps and it has helped him to identify animals and the sounds that they make. It makes my heart melt when I see my little boy sat reading this book on his own, watching him doing animal actions and listening to him making the sounds of the animals :0) brilliant book,my granny Phil used to read this to me,when i was little,so it's a great reminder of her,and such fun to read and pass on the memories and laughter to my daughter: she loves lifting the flaps and playing hedi-boo with the zoo animals,

We recently read this to our 10 month old daughter and she loves it. She really enjoys lifting the flaps to see what animals are underneath and even roars when she sees the lion. Great book.Both baby and i love this book. He listens to the sounds and giggles. We added our own version of what happens after we keep the puppy at the end of the book. Things like i take him for a walk, i play catch with him and i feed him some milk and treats. This book will definately bring you and baby close as you share story time. It's good for developing social skills. I wasn’t sure at first how many I’d be able to find but after asking a few bloggers for assistance I was overwhelmed by the most amazing selection of Dear Zoo activities, I’m sure you’ll love them too.

I got this book for my daughter because I remembered it being in the house when I was younger. She loves it when her daddy changes his voice for each animal and trying to lift the flaps (not quite there yet!) A lovely book for exploring size, sounds and repetition. This review is for Dear Zoo: Noisy Book, which I think is the best of all the many versions and formats. It begins: My little girl loves this book. It was one of the first books I bought for her. She loves the pictures and flaps, and it manages to hold her attention. Simply a classic that was loved by me and now my daughter. There is a reason this book has been in print for some 25 years and counting. It captures perfectly what occurs in any family whenever a kid decides that they want a pet. This kid goes a little over board but hat makes the book even more heartwarming. The flaps are also great for little hands as they discover the surprises beneath.

Dear Zoo” was written as a lift-the-flap board book in 1982, by the Scottish author, Rod Campbell. It is his most famous work, and thirty-five years later, it is still tremendously popular among the under fives in Great Britain, and has been translated into more than a dozen different languages. Explain that we are going to visit Australia Zoo in a few weeks and would like some informationto help us plan our visit. Borrow from nursery. My nearly 3 year old son wanted me to read it to him every night for the week that we had the book. By the end of the week he was telling me and other family members the story. My 18 month old is only just interested in this book, but, she absolutely loves it. She identifies the lion is in the cat family by making the noise she makes for cats and also calls it jazzie (our cat). It helps her to identify the animals and is a great book to read together! She always looks surprised when we lift the flaps. my 2 year old daughter loves this book, she had it a week ago. she loves animals and listening to me make the sound when she lifts the flaps open. we have read it over and over so many times i know the book off by heart now. would recommend to others will have a great time reading this just like we do
