Red House Readers say...
We read this book again and again.What child wouldn't want the zoo to send them a pet? But it turns out that the zoo in this wonderful story keep sending the wrong pet! Each pet is hidden behind fun flaps so Poppy loves guessing what the animals are before lifting the flaps to discover what it is that is too big, too tall, too grumpy or even too jumpy! Will the zoo find the perfect pet or are they all sent back again? With favourite zoo animals, interactive flaps and bright pictures we read this book again and again.

"Fab book"
My baby loves this book and always wants it read again and again. It was a fave of mine from childhood so I love it too! My son is now 8 months and enjoys lifting the flaps himself. Really fab book suitable from a young age.

"Great book, great format"
My children loved this book in the Red House miniature format, and my grandson loved it from age 10 months in the board book format - much more suitable at his age. By careful if frequent reading we have managed to avoid any damage to the flaps. If a 9-18 month old were only to have one book, it should be this one.

"Brilliant"
My 1 year old daughter loves this book. She read this book all day, especially she loves the monkey part most. She makes monkey sounds! I would recommend it to anyone.

"Dear Zoo"
My 17 month son Jamie loves this book. He loves turning the flaps on each page and I have to read it at least 3 times a night. It is very sturdy and the flaps haven't bent or torn even with its constant use. He has now started to make the noises of each animal and loves it more each time we read it. I would recommend it to anyone.

"Dear Zoo"
My one year old daughter loves this book already. Always bring a smile to her face when I get from her book shelf. Started looking at it herself babbling to her and lifting the flaps.

Dear Zoo
This is a classic book for all ages, which now toddlers and babies can enjoy. Have fun reading together and lifting the flap to see what the zoo has delivered this time.
