Dear Zoo Noisy Book

Product Information

Young children will love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent – a monkey, a lion and even an elephant! But will they ever manage to send the perfect pet? When I "read" it, I had a box marked "From the Zoo" (as if the kids could read it) and I would just say the same line over and over again: A whole new generation of children will enjoy this classic story about finding the perfect family pet, as it is brought up–to-date with eight lifelike sounds. This appealing story, in lift-the-flap, board-book format has been a favourite with toddlers ever since it was first published in 1982.

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.This is a fun and interactive book, children will enjoy lifting the flaps. It describes they animals and explains why they would not be a suitable pet. This teaches children about the difference between wild animals and pets. 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! The book contains lots of adjectives. Look at photos of each animal and think of other adjectives to describe them. 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!
