 A cute engaging book for toddlers June 11, 2008
My 2-year old niece loves this book. I also work at a public library where I often do read aloud to toddlers and they all enjoy this book immensely. It's a good way to teach toddlers about different animals while keeping them engaged as well.
 My son loves this book! April 7, 2008
My son had this book in class and would read it all the time, so we bought him a copy to have at home.
a great book -- but be careful, can rip if handled roughly! December 12, 2007
I bought this book for use with my primary students with Autism. We use the book to facilitate a commenting activity, where my students put together picture symbols on a sentence strip, like "I see dog!" My students love the pop up animals, and the book is short enough to hold their limited attention spans. We have to be very careful when handling the book though, as the pop up components are very delicate. I have a thirteen month old son, and I am hesitant to purchase a copy for him because of that issue. Maybe when he is a little older... One cool thing about the book is that it leaves out the animal names, for example, the author writes, "So they sent me a.." and then you lift the flap to reveal a pop up frog, but it does not state the word frog. This serves my purposes well in the classroom, as I see that my students are not simply matching the words as they form their sentences, but they are picking the word that matches the picture -- a higher level skill.
Original version is better November 8, 2007
The pop-up version is good, but the original, lift-the-flap version is better, in my opinion. Dear Zoo is one of the best read-aloud stories I've come across. As a children's librarian, when I'm running around at the last minute looking for storytime books, I can always grab Dear Zoo. No matter what age group I've got, no matter how many times they've already heard the story, they always love Dear Zoo.
A great kids book! November 3, 2006
I bought this book on a friend's recommendation and it's great! The words are nice and simple, the pop up pages are neat and my son goes and picks this one off the shelf to "read". The only thing is that I make sure I'm there to help as he can get too eager and there would be nothing left to pop up before long.
