    Fun and Interactive!
    Dear Zoo: A Lift-the-Flap Book is great for interactive reading. The story is cute and engaging, and my little one loves lifting the flaps to discover the animals. Perfect for toddlers!

    A Timeless Classic That Never Gets Old
    “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.

    Always a favorite!
    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!

    Beloved first book great for babies and toddlers
    One of our favorite toddler and preschooler books. I have 6 children and this was my go to “first book” for all of them. We love a good interactive flap book! The repetitive storyline makes it easy to anticipate the next lines and memorize (great for foundational reading skills). The only con is the same with all flap books -little hands ripping them off! But I see it as a sign of a well loved book! And worth ordering a new one if it’s beyond fixing with tape.

    Good book
    My daughter, who is 18 months old LOVES this book! She wants me to read it to her over and over again. She loves pulling the flaps down and pointing to all the animals. It’s pretty durable so far and my daughter literally wants to read it daily.

    My 15 mo. old grandson Loves this book!
    I love this cute book. My grandson loves opening the flaps. Unfortunately, the book came with one of the flaps ripped out. Amazon credited me, and I got to keep the book, but the snake flap is not there. Bummer, but it’s still a cute book. When I have time, I will order it again.

  9. Amazon Customer –

    A classic for a reason. Kids love it!

  10. M. Dumont Valli –

    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!

  11. Fernando –

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

  12. Sandra Howard –
