Dear Zoo

I really loved this book. I enjoyed lifting the flaps to see what animal is hiding on every page — it's such a fun surprise! A child writes to the zoo asking for a pet. The zoo sends different animals one by one – an elephant too big, a giraffe too tall, a lion too fierce – and each one gets sent back. At last, they sent the perfect pet — a lovely puppy! It made me feel happy and excited guessing what would come next. I'd recommend this to any young child who loves animals and interactive books. There is nothing scary or worrying at all — completely safe and fun for everyone!

Luca loves the different animals and enjoys a lift flap book

It's my favourite book. I love the animals.

It was a very good book

I enjoyed Dear Zoo because it is simple but fun. I liked the different animals and the surprise of finding out which one is sent next. The lift-the-flap parts also make it more interactive.

It made me think about which animal I would choose as a pet. I would recommend it to young children, especially ages 2–5, because it is easy to follow and encourages children to join in.

There aren’t any major content warnings. Some of the animals might seem a little scary to younger children, but they are shown in a fun way.

Good story

I love the ending because the kid gets something special

I like this book because it shows many animals from the zoo, it uses lots of adjectives and at the end they gave them a dog which is great for a pet.

Love this book! I read it to my little brother who also loves it.

"I liked it when they kept saying 'I sent it back' but in a really fun way. I liked it when the animals got out the cages."

Mummy read this one

This book is non fiction I like this book because it is funny and I am sure it will make someone laugh

I love this book I read to mummy and bed time.

I really like puppies, especially bulldogs because they are my favourite. I like the puppy in the book because it’s adorable.

Showed me lots of different animals
I would recommend.

Quite a short, easy to read book.

I liked when they kept sending them back because she didn't like them and then she found what she liked

Because i liked it when they think very hard and found the idea and then they said this is perfect i will keep it, i liked that bit
