Description
Celebrate forty years of Rod Campbell's classic lift-the-flap book, Dear Zoo, with a host of favourite zoo animals and flaps to lift on every page.
'I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet . . .'
Young children will love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent - a monkey, a lion and even an elephant! But will they ever manage to send the perfect pet?
Rod Campbell, the creator of preschool favourites including Oh Dear! and Noisy Farm, has been a trusted name in early learning for over forty years, and the perennial classic, Dear Zoo has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike since its first publication in 1982. With bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain and a whole host of favourite animals, Dear Zoo: 40th Anniversary Edition is a must for every child's bookshelf, and the thick card pages, chunky cased cover and sturdy flaps make it perfect for small hands.
Look out for Rod Campbell's Look After Us, a lift-the-flap animal book for toddlers with a positive message about conservation.
