Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell is fun for any toddler to listen to but especially toddlers that love animals and the zoo. In the story the speaker has written to the zoo for a pet. The zoo keeps sending animals that are just not right for a pet. The elephant is too big and the snake to scary. Finally the zoo gets it right and sends a puppy.
This is a lift the flap book so toddlers love to find what animal is hidden behind the box or in the crate. I know that my son even loves to "read" this one by himself as he lifts the flaps he loves making the animal noise to go along with the picture.
If you are into digital books there is a Dear Zoo iPad app. The app has several different features (read to me, read to self and picture pairs). Not only can you tap the crates for the animals to appear but they will make a noise and move or swing around the screen. The app is $4.99 in the app store.
What is your toddler's favorite classic book?
Happy Reading!
