Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps

Product Information

The child receives a pet, but every time there is always a problem with it being too big or too small, and they send it back. Spend time talking together about the cover picture, what they notice, and commenting on what the story might be about and where it takes place. Dear Zoo is a 'lift the flap' book about a child who sends a letter to the zoo asking the zoo to send a pet.

She loves it when her daddy changes his voice for each animal and trying to lift the flaps (not quite there yet!We made this toilet roll dog craft for Valentines Day but it could be easily adapted by not using the hearts. I’m shared all the activities first and then done a separate list at the bottom of Dear Zoo animal crafts for kids as there were so many great ideas to share. She likes opening the flaps, to see what's inside, and i've read it so many times, I know it off by heart ! It would be nice if the name of each animal was written in the book to help with reading in later years but I suppose the fun is in the guessing! One of my daughters favourite books, she smiles when I pick it from our pile of books and can't wait to turn the pages and always grabs for the flaps.

He loves lifting the flaps (almost tearing them off) and has just started to say dog when we get to the final page. My 11-month-old loves this book, she has been turning pages for a while but now sits and plays with the flaps as well, I think trying to play peek-a-boo with the animals! We have the soundbook versin of this and my 7 month old Daughter squeals in delight when I read it with her.Ben ended up being pretty happy with the story, and thought the zoo totally nailed it with the last animal they sent. Evie and I love this book, I have started to ask her questions like where's the snake etc and she finds the right pages.
