"I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet. They sent me an..."
That's how this boardbook begins, making your little listeners wonder what kind of animal is in that crate that has just arrived from the zoo.
One animal was too big, another one - too tall. The third one - too fierce. And the following was too grumpy... So since they all were exotic and unsuitable, they had to be sent back, one by one.
See which one turned out to be the perfect one in the end.
The children's classic by Rod Campbell comes this time in Russian and English languages side by side each page!

books for babies : Dear Zoo: a Lift-the-Flap Book (in Russian and English languages) Reviews
| 61 of 61 people found the following review helpful  A great first book, By A Customer This review is from: Dear Zoo: A Lift The Flap Book (Classic Board Book) (Board book) My daughter has loved this book from the very beginning. She was fascinated by the animals revealed when I lifted the flaps, and then had a great time learning how to lift the flaps herself as she grew older. She's a year old now and brings it to me to read to her more than any other book that we have. She gets a kick out of the animal sounds we make when we lift the flaps, too. It's the only lift-the-flap book we have that she hasn't managed to tear off any flaps. I think this book has been instrumental in showing her how much fun books can be - I highly recommend it. 36 of 40 people found the following review helpful A favorite with my two year old, This review is from: Dear Zoo: A Lift The Flap Book (Classic Board Book) (Board book) This is a great early book. The zoo sends various animals as a pet but they are all unsuitable for some reason (the giraffe is too tall, the monkey is too naughty etc). Finally they send the perfect present: a puppy! The language is simple (in fact, this book was recommended to me by a speech pathologist) and the humor is perfect for the 2-4 age group. My son loves lifting up the flaps and making noises for all the different animals hidden below. The flaps are also cleverly illustrated so that enough of the animal is visible to allow the child to guess which one is being sent. I must have read it to my son more than 100 times but neither of us are tired of it yet! 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful  A So-So Book - a review of "Dear Zoo", This review is from: Dear Zoo (Hardcover) This book is okay. Others raved about it but my three year old son found it boring. The reason I think is that he *wasn't* introduced to this book as a baby or toddler. First books generally tend to remain favorites, so my advice would be not to buy this for a Preschooler. A baby or young toddler would probably like it fine.Pros -- Pretty sturdy flaps that open from different sides. This feature helps young children exercise both their memory and fine motor skills (little fingers) -- 17 pages including the title page. I know the description says 24, but they must be counting blank pages and the covers pages. -- Interesting subject for babies and toddlers. -- Text is repetitive and helps with baby and toddler memory and prediction. Cons -- For Preschoolers content is boring. The eight animals chosen are 'old hat' by the time most children hit the 2 to 3 range. Animals are: Elephant, giraffe, lion,... Read more |
