Dear Zoo: Lift the Flaps

Product Information

This Will the Zoo Send me a Pet Song is set to the music of ‘London Bridge Is Falling Down’ and is a catchy wee number to sing along to! All of our activities have been designed with EYFS children in mind and help children master new skills. Using the template below - brainstorm a list of verbs and adjectivesthat describe different types of zoo animals. My daughter now knows what's behind each door, so shouts out the answer before I've had chance to open the flap.

After the elephant comes a giraffe ( “press the giraffe button to hear the giraffe munching”) who was “too tall”. We borrowed this book from the library after we went to the zoo and it was nice go over the animals we saw. I wanted to start a routine to get my baby to take naps in the day and to get her to sleep at night. Encourage them tell it to you in their own words, turning the pages, lifting the flaps and using the pictures to help them. 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.g. theelephant is too big, the lion too fierce, the giraffe too tall, the monkey too naughty, the snake too scary.

Is it a bit hypocritical of me to be endorsing this book, based on my ethical beliefs that animals are not toys to be swapped, sold on, imprisoned or treated as inanimate objects, blah, blah, blah. Explain that we are going to visit Australia Zoo in a few weeks and would like some informationto help us plan our visit.This appealing story, in lift-the-flap, board-book format has been a favourite with toddlers ever since it was first published in 1982.
