 Great little book! August 17, 2008
This is such fun for my two year old grandson! It is tough enough to last through many readings, and he is fascinated by opening each one of the little doors as we read through it. At this age, he probably does not really "get" the story line, but he loves the surprise of each little door opening, and saying the name of the animal.
 Another simple, repetitive story for little ones! June 26, 2008
Children like a repetitive structure because it helps them understand what's going on and predict what will happen next. (For that matter, adults like it too! Repetition is a crucial part of traditional storytelling and modern-day speechifying.)
This one is about a child who wrote to the zoo for a pet and, being a zoo, they sent him/her all manner of exotic, but unsuitable animals before finally hitting on a puppy. Each animal is hidden inside a box of some sort, that's where the flaps come in.
It's great fun (at least the first thousand times, then it's only a little fun) to lift the flaps and adlib some animal sounds to describe whatever's hiding. And, as a plus, the flaps on this book are actually fairly sturdy - we haven't had a rip yet, and we've had this book a few years.
Definitely a keeper.
Became a Classic - it's a must for 1-4 yr olds June 25, 2008
My 1 yr old loves it and so does my almost 4 yr old nephew. keeps attn.
Great Book June 13, 2008
My two year old son loves this book. The pages have flaps you lift and then you can see the animals. He loves that. We read this book every night repeatedly before bed.
Very engaging for a 9-month old June 9, 2008
I introduced this book to my 9-month old son, who immediately took to lifting the flaps like a pro. This cooperative reading of the book, makes the required multiple readings entertaining rather than tedious. We've never had a concern about the sturdiness of the flaps, as these are a bit thicker than some other books we've run across us. Although, please note, my son hasn't figured out that ripping pages might be fun and is appropriately gentle with books. He is now 21 months old and still requests this book often. This was also the first book, I saw him browsing by himself, at about 12 months old.
