5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully illustrated book that will amuse for years, 20 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps (Hardcover)
Dear Zoo is a very readable and enjoyable book, with plenty of appeal, from the gorgeous illustrations to look at, to the flaps to fiddle with, and not least, the potential to make all the appropriate animal noises. This book has remained a favourite from very early on, and we have not grown bored of reading it every day.

As well as being great fun it is also educational, teaching children concepts such as "too tall" and "too grumpy" as well teaching them why zoo animals cannot be kept as pets. Children very quickly learn the order the animals appear in, and the anticipation adds to their enjoyment of this classic book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dear Zoo, 27 Jan 2006
By Owl "Ollie" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps (Hardcover)
I have used this book for many years with different ages of preschool children who have all enjoyed trying to guess what animal is under the flaps.

I think it not only encourages animal recognition, but animal sounds and size. It is a useful addition to any bookshelf as the children enjoy the text and can then pretend to read the book but adding in the words "I wrote to the zoo etc."

I would recommend this book to any preschool setting and I am sure the children will get lots of enjoyment as the children I have used this book with. It is probably one of the childrens favourite books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for even an under 1 year old, 15 Aug 2006
By Jamie Kelleher (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps (Hardcover)
My daugter is only 9 months but her attention is held simply because she is allowed to grab the flaps and see the animals.

The pages are boards so it's robust to little fingers and the flaps are strong although some adult supervision in needed for those times she wants to eat it.

Great book
