Dear Zoo Noisy Book

Product Information

There is a reason this book has been in print for some 25 years and counting. It captures perfectly what occurs in any family whenever a kid decides that they want a pet. This kid goes a little over board but hat makes the book even more heartwarming. The flaps are also great for little hands as they discover the surprises beneath. 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. As children lift the flaps to discover the seven creatures from the zoo that would make problematic pets, they will delight in pressing the buttons to create the correct accompanying animal noise, whether it is a hiss, roar or a ribbit. A nice interaction tale with various flaps as parents are able to teach children the different animals that can be found at the zoo. Parents / older brothers and sisters might have read this book when they were young. Interview them and find out what other books they remember from their childhood.

I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet..." (That's a direct quote from the book) and then I'd pull out a different puppet from the box and bring it to life for a few seconds. It was fun to have the parents and talking kids chant the line over and over with me. And it was even more fun to see the children's excitement when a "live" animal came out of the box. Priceless. And the noisy fun does not stop once readers realise which barking animal would be just right to keep at home, as there is a fun activity section that will see them using the sound buttons to answer some challenging questions about what they have just read. But this book has a delightful extra feature. It is a “noisy” book! And I can assure you (because I’ve done this myself) that if you accidentally sit on it, you will find that it might trumpet at you, or chatter like a monkey, or even (and this is a bit scary if you’re not expecting it!) even hiss like a snake!Rod Campbell, the creator of preschool favourites including Oh Dear! and Noisy Farm, has been a trusted name in early learning for over forty years, and the classic, Dear Zoo has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike since its first publication in 1982. I can't believe this was a new book when I first read to my children 25 years ago-they were babies! How fast time goes. Dear Zoo Noisy Book is an interactive play-along edition of the preschool classic. Young children will love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent, and then pressing the sound buttons to bring the story to noisy life: hear the lion roar and the puppy bark!

However the Dear Zoo: Noisy book is well nigh perfect. It includes the fun element of flaps, teaches both the names of the animals and how to identify them. It invites questions such as: “How big is the crate?” and “What sort of animal might fit inside there?” It uses language with simple repetition, but also creatively. It has clear, attractive and humorous line drawings in bold colours.This appealing story, in lift-the-flap, board-book format has been a favourite with toddlers ever since it was first published in 1982.

But my daughter really loves this book. And my husband told me to lighten up, get off my high horse and "it's only a kids' book. Don't worry about it." So maybe the lift up flaps are great. And how lovely it would be to have a zoo keep sending you animals on demand. Yeah, ok, it's a fab book. Rod Campbell's classic lift-the-flap book Dear Zoo has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike ever since it was first published in 1982. With Dear Zoo Noisy Book little ones can play along with eight interactive sound buttons. Could you write a sequel to the book, which involves someone asking for something but each time they receive a gift, there is something ‘wrong’ with it? months later this is still a firm favorite with my niece, who wanted it read three times before bed. She has memorized it now, and certainly knows the name of all the animals, but seems to enjoy pretending to not know them. If I ask, "What do you think is in this cage?" and she knows it is a lion, she'll say "Giraffe!" and when we get to the giraffe she'll insist it's a kitty, and that sort of thing. Two-year-olds are quite contrary. Children will love lifting the flaps to discover their favourite farm animals and their babies in Noisy Farm. Meet Sam the farm dog, visit the animals and don't forget to join in by calling out their noises!

Regardless. Is it a bit hypocritical of me to be endorsing this book, based on my ethical beliefs that animals are not toys to be swapped, sold on, imprisoned or treated as inanimate objects, blah, blah, blah. Am I delivering a dark, subconscious message of irresponsibility to my child when I read her this? With bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain and eight animal noises, the Dear Zoo Noisy Book is sure to keep toddlers entertained for hours - perfect for joining in! This story is a fun introduction to animals and their characteristics. It is written in the first person, with repetitive sentences. The nature of repetitiveness enables young readers to predict and engage with the story. This review is for Dear Zoo: Noisy Book, which I think is the best of all the many versions and formats. It begins: A whole new generation of children will enjoy this classic story about finding the perfect family pet
