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.

‘I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet …’

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?

With bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain and a whole host of favourite animals, no child’s bookcase is complete without a well-worn copy of Dear Zoo.

Little animal lovers will also enjoy Rod Campbell’s Look After Us, a lift-the-flap animal book for toddlers with a positive message about conservation.
