basic but well loved - By: Ms. M. Brown, 28 Aug 2008 
My 15 month old boy loves this book mainly because he loves opening flaps! We vary between this & the 'Where's Spot' book (where the flaps are easier to spot). He never seems to tire of them!
Interactive Story - By: S. D. Williams, 08 Aug 2008 This book is wonderful with lift up flaps & a simple story which delighted my son as a toddler. Even now we like to look at the book & lift the flaps. I would recommend this book to any toddler, its wonderful.
My son's first and favourite - By: sam155, 18 Mar 2008 I first heard the story told on Cbeebies story time. I re-enacted it much to my son's amusement & we bought the book at the earliest opportunity. Its a great book with a simply premise- several pets are sent by the zoo & all are unsuitable until the last one "he was perfect. I kept him". Its a lift the flap book with just enough text to keep their attention on each page. The illustrations are simple & bold & the book presents opportunities to talk about proportions & appearances & of course, to make funny animal noises. My son,in his enthusiasm, has wrecked the first one we bought him & we are going to have to buy a new one. That's how much he loves it. Since this book, he has really learnt to enjoy books as a one to one activity with me, which makes me really happy.
Excellent. - By: V. Mccourt, 11 Dec 2007 This was a book given to my daughter for her first birthday. It was a favourite for a long time & has done a lot for promoting her language development. The pictures are lovely. The book is sturdy & unlike some flap books, they do not easily pull off.
Little fingers - By: A. Norman, 23 Feb 2007 What a find! A tough, sturdy board book with flaps requiring different skills. The content absorbs my [...], very active grandson totally, something which few books can do at this stage. The text can be used at different levels from simple animal noises up to story involvement. A clever, interactive, pop-up, which I would highly recommend for little fingers.
