Dear Zoo: The Lift-the-flap Preschool Classic

Child loved the book

Bought this for my 2 yo grandson, he loves the story and opening the doors to see the animals.

Perfect what I need

Lovely book, great size and lovely colours as well, easy to understand and great fun to read, well designed book

A classic for a reason. Kids love it!

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

We bought this book for my daughter when she was about 8 months old and first gaining some interest in lift the flap books. It was an instant hit with her. It’s a perfectly simple, but also interactive book for babies. Each page has a crisp white background with simple text and illustrations. It’s a good design, there isn’t too much distraction from the main components for little ones. The flaps are also very sturdy, the sturdiest I’ve come across. The story is as a simple one, but also nice and there are lots of opportunities for labelling and pointing out different animals. We also did animal sounds with our daughter. It has become less popular with her as she’s got older. She’s now almost two and rarely chooses it. As I’ve said already, it’s very simple, and therefore perhaps less interesting to older children.

Great price and book. My 10 month old loves it
