\ From Barnes & NobleCelebrate the 25th anniversary of Rod Campbell's delightful lift-the-flap classic with this sturdy board book version for toddlers. The artwork has been updated for a spiffy new look, but the charming story line remains unchanged: A child writes a letter to the zoo, requesting a pet. The zoo sends back a parade of animals, all of them unsuitable for one reason or another. Each colorful spread depicts a container (a basket, a crate, a cage, etc.), revealing just enough of the mysterious contents to encourage fun-filled guessing. But the real enjoyment is watching the delight on children's faces as the last shipment arrives with (ta-da!) the perfect pet. A perennial family favorite, Dear Zoo continues to captivate -- even a quarter century after its original publication!\ \ \ \ \ Children's LiteratureCampbell's lift-the-flap book, imported from England two decades ago, now has a new, celebratory format as a board book. It's still the same story of a child writing to the zoo to request a pet. A series of animals are sent and rejected as too big, too tall, too fierce¾until at last the perfect pet arrives. It is necessary, of course, to lift the flaps to discover the animals rejected, and the one accepted. It makes for a nice little toddler-level guessing game. As there are new toddlers coming along every few years, Campbell's little book just might remain in print forever. 2002 (orig. 1982), Little Simon, \ — Kathleen Karr\ \ \ Children's Literature\ - Marilyn Courtot\ For kids who enjoy repetition and are working on recognizing animals, this lift-the-flap board book will be well received.
