Dear Zoo Noisy Book : Campbell, Rod: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Nice flaps - A classic for a reason. Kids love it! Review: Childcare professional recommended - 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

A Family Favourite That Brings Joy For Years!
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.

Classic childhood book about
Simple easy book to read to young kids. Repetition is good for children to be able to memorise book and re read to themselves.

Just perfect. Animals to guess at and make their sounds, a few words but not too many, easy flaps to lift -- it's become a favourite for my under-2 toddler!

Excelente para niños pequeños y que son muy curiosos. Importante cuidar bien, las pestañas. No son frágiles, pero siempre hay que tener cuidado.

My 2 yr old loves this book. He animal sounds through this book and i also taught him the actions of the animals. This keeps my 2 yr old entertained and he loves to open the flaps. It’s a fun book!
