Dear Zoo: The Lift-the-flap Preschool Classic

Bought this for my granddaughter’s first birthday, I remember reading this to my sons, brilliant book that children absolutely love

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.

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.

I'm reviewing to this many many years after purchase. It is still in my house and I'm not allowed to get rid of it! Many happy memories of reading this book with my daughter.

Fantastic book which my grandson loves!A good interactive book with lovely pictures

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

The photos aren’t correct for the item. We love this book and it’s our second copy because we wore the first one out. But the photos are not accurate. I did a quick purchase after looking at the photos and I should have check the reviews more closely. This is the traditional flap book and does not pop-out.

My daughter loves this book, great size too as its not too big for her to hold.
