Dear Zoo: A Lift-the-Flap Book

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!

My 2.5 year old loves this book

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.

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

Perfect for my 18 month grandson who loves animals especially dogs! Well made and sweet story.

I got this book from Scholastic for my son 35 or 36 years ago when I was teaching. It was his favorite book and was read a lot!! He loved opening the flaps to discover the animals and especially love the puppy at the end. I gave it as a baby shower gift for my first grandchild (his first child) 7 years ago when guests were asked to give their favorite book as a card and he remembered it! Last month I went to another baby shower that requested books instead of cards. Guess what I gave! Can you tell I love this book? And it's been around for a long time.

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

We just added this book to our bedtime reading and as a family, it's fun to turn the pages together and identify the animals hiding behind the flaps.With two toddlers (3 &1), the older one enjoys shouting out the animals behind the flaps and the younger one likes turning the pages and opening the flaps. It's great for this age as we're learning and developing together. The board book itself is pretty durable which I prefer to buy because the kiddos at this age are not super gentle with their things. The flaps are a little fragile and will tear after awhile. I think this is expected for books of this type.
