So, a fun idea, but unfortunately, this book is dated and gender stereotyped. With books like this -- depicting all eight different animals as male -- no wonder kids go to the zoo and call every single animal "him" unless it is obviously nursing an infant. Sandra Boynton's books are a great alternative, and not so painfully and unnecessarily gendered.

    This book is the CUTEST! I buy it for every baby shower I go to, ever since someone bought it for my baby. The flaps are very sturdy and the overall concept is adorable. I can see my daughter practicing reading with this book because the words are simple and repetitive.

    My 2-year old LOVES this book.
    We read this book together often. She loves it when we make animal noises, pretend to be afraid of the snake when she opens the flap, bounce on the couch like the frog when she opens that flap, etc. This book is a lot of fun and definitely a favorite in our home.

    This is an adorable book for very young children. The zoo sends various animals that are supposed to be pets to a home, and none of them "work". The animals sent are behind a flap, and you have to lift the flap to discover what animal was sent. Animals such as a giraffe are sent to the home. In the end, a puppy was sent and everything worked out. Children will enjoy this book because of the silly situation and discovering what is behind the flaps.

    Dear Zoo has become a ...
    Dear Zoo has become a classic of the children's literature canon and rightly deserves to be so. In this simple and sweet board book, the unnamed narrator notes how he/she wanted a pet and so wrote the zoo for one. The zoo responds by shipping over some animals. The first several tries are unsuccessful as the animals shipped are too big, too tall, too scary, etc. At last, the perfect pet arrives. Children from infants to toddlers to preschoolers absolutely love lifting the flap on each page to see what the zoo has shipped next. This is a great book for spending some quality time with the young ones in your life, allowing them to manipulate the flaps, identify animals (adding in the sound effects is always fun!), and otherwise have great fun while gaining pre-literacy skills.

    Adorable book
    Fun book for kids, a surprise animal hidden behind a flap on each page. Interactive.

    So much fun to read
    It is a great book to read with your baby together. It starts like this "I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet so they send me an..." and there is a big crate on the next page. And my baby lift the flap to find out what is inside. My baby loves it. It is so much fun.

    When a child asks the zoo to send a pet, they send an assortment of silly animals, hidden in lift-the-flap packages. Liam and I both love this one, the board book is a great size, although I was constantly worried he'd tear the flaps. I changed the snake's description to slithery instead of scary, I'm not sure if he'll be afraid of snakes or not.
