Customer Rating: Summary: chicknscratch Comment: Great lift the flap book, highly recommend my son loved this book! Still does~ Customer Rating: Summary: Great book! Comment: My 20 month old twins LOVE this book! It has a cute story and they enjoy lifting the flaps. Customer Rating: Summary: Great little book! Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Another simple, repetitive story for little ones! Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Became a Classic - it's a must for 1-4 yr olds Comment: My 1 yr old loves it and so does my almost 4 yr old nephew. keeps attn.
