What it is

Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell is a lift-the-flap picture book in which a child writes to the zoo asking for a pet, and each animal sent back is not quite right.

Who it's for

Babies and toddlers. The flaps and repetition make it great for reading aloud.

Our experience

A classic in our house. It survives being read again and again.

Honest downsides

  • Flaps can get torn by very young children, so the board book edition lasts longer.
