Dear Zoo: A Lift-the-Flap Book

“Dear Zoo” is one of those rare children’s books that feels just as magical the tenth time as it does the first. The lift-the-flap format is pure gold for toddlers—there’s something so satisfying about revealing each animal, especially with the playful buildup on every page.The story is simple and engaging, with just the right amount of repetition to keep young readers involved while helping them learn. It’s a perfect mix of surprise, humor, and gentle pacing, and the bold illustrations make each animal instantly recognizable and exciting.

This is a staple for any toddler! I love this book and so has every one of my grandkids that I've bought it for! The love interacting with the book, opening the flaps, and saying the name of the animals! Always one of their favorites!

This board book is such a favorite for kids and toddlers for years! They learn all the words and it’s so much fun!

This book has page after page of animals hiding underneath a flip up flap pictured as a cage or habitat. This is a great interactive book for toddlers learning to speak and read pictures. After reading once through our grandson wanted to repeatedly go to just a few pages of the animal he most liked the imitating its voice. (roar, hiss, etc). He loved that he was able to lift the flap himself and we'd imitate the sound the animal makes over and over. This fun held his attention for a good 5-10 minute and it was a go to book for him for months.This book is a classic as it was one of our son's favorite books some 37 years ago.

Such a simple book, but perfect for babies and toddlers. The pictures are great and the flaps make it fun. My toddler makes me read it over and over again, each time as if he’s reading it for the first time. They all have it memorized and continue to ask to read it. Great for introducing different animals and their sounds even. And also a simple book that you could easily translate to another language if your home is bilingual. I have purchased for many bilingual families with young children and they all love it!

Great touch and feel book for young children.

Classic, well made life the flap book.We love Where's Spot so decided to gift this one for the Easter basket.The pages hold up well to toddler hands and he enjoys following the story along.I just wish there were a few more words on the page so we could enjoy it more.But overall, toddler loves it and it is a go-to in our house

My toddler requests this book often, he loves the flap that open, and to see the animals inside. Great story time book.
