Dear Zoo
By Rod Campbell
Illustrated by Rod Campbell
For ages up to 4
“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?
Rod Campbell, the creator of preschool favourites including Oh Dear! and Fluffy Chick, has been a trusted name in early learning for nearly 40 years, and the perennial classic, Dear Zoo, has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike since its first publication in 1982.
With bright, bold artwork, a repeating text and a whole host of favourite animals, Dear Zoo is a must for every child’s bookshelf – and the thick card pages, chunky cased cover and sturdy flaps make it perfect for small hands.

Why picture books?
Picture books cover a diverse range of topics, expose children to words and language they might not hear normally in conversation, and teach children how reading works (left to right, top to bottom). While picture books might be too hard for early readers to read by themselves at first, the books are not too hard to understand. Reading picture books with your child will inspire them to learn to read on their own, and experience the pleasure of reading.
