This book is so cute! My son loves lifting the flaps and seeing the different animals. I definitely recommend this book!

Arguably one of my 1 year old's favourite books and one of the very few books she's go grab herself off the shelf and sit down and read. The book itself is short and sweet and provides lots of chances to interact with your child. I usually can not get away with one reading once we start.
The 'Life-The-Flap' is both a positive and a negative. My daughter loves opening the flaps and has got real good at recognizing the animals and the sounds they make. She's really engaged!
The negative is that when you buy a board book, you buy it with the understanding that a young child isn't always the most gentle with their things. The tabs are rather flimsy compared to the book and will rip out very easy if a child isn't careful.
5* for the story and the way it engages a young child, but just watch out for those flaps!

I love this book. My six month old is still a bit young to appreciate it, but I'm sure she will soon. As a reptile lover, I have trouble with a snake being "too scary". In our house, it's too slippery! ;)

Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo
Tis the ultimate interactive story for the young 'uns. An unseen narrator (who we assume must be a child of some sort) narrates a tale of unprecedented zooish generosity. Read more
