Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps

Product Information

We’ve gathered a lovely bunch of ‘Dear Zoo’ activities for nursery children above to help support your teaching of the brilliant storybook, ‘Dear Zoo’ by Rod Campbell. From picture cards, PowerPoints, games, posters and more, you're sure to find the perfect resource for you and your class. Incorporating these lovely activities after reading the storybook is a great way to engage children further with the story and help bring it to life! There are probably a few animals that I've forgotten about, but you get the gist. Each are in a crate/cage/box/basket, and you get to Lift-the-Flaps. My 18 month old is only just interested in this book, but, she absolutely loves it. She identifies the lion is in the cat family by making the noise she makes for cats and also calls it jazzie (our cat). It helps her to identify the animals and is a great book to read together! She always looks surprised when we lift the flaps.

A fantastic book that my son has loved from 3 months. We read it every night and loves pulling down the flaps. The book app for the iPad is great fun too. I'd definitely recommend this to any parent. Dear Santa by Rod Campbell is also another must! As he hasn't ruled out one day becoming a zookeeper, Ben found the premise of this book intriguing; a kid writes a letter to the zoo and gets free stuff. Sounds great, right? After all, he's currently unemployed and can't very well buy his own things, let alone afford a pet. Also there's flaps and those always blow his mind.Kids Craft Room shares how to make an articulated snake or this snake craft for kids is great for supporting scissor skills Dear Zoo” was written as a lift-the-flap board book in 1982, by the Scottish author, Rod Campbell.

I really think this book is great from birth, my daughter loves when I make the animal noises and pull silly faces! We have both the cardboard and noisy book. She's still about scared of the lion noise but loves the rest!! Both baby and i love this book. He listens to the sounds and giggles. We added our own version of what happens after we keep the puppy at the end of the book. Things like i take him for a walk, i play catch with him and i feed him some milk and treats. This book will definately bring you and baby close as you share story time. It's good for developing social skills.

My son is 22 months and has loved this book since about 6 months. He gets so excited when he opens the flaps and makes all the animals noises. We saw that there is a counting book along these lines by Rod Campbell and are getting it soon. Dear Zoo is a must. My daughter now knows what's behind each door, so shouts out the answer before I've had chance to open the flap. Good book to read and helps children to learn the different animal names. I found this book when my daughter was 18 months old - she loved looking behind all the different flaps, and has bored guests silly by asking each of them in turn to read it to her (again and again).
