This is a very cute book about a boy who has written to the zoo to ask for a pet, and repeatedly the zoo sends him things that are a bit inappropriate as pets, such as a Lion, an Elephant, and a Monkey. The flaps allow the kids to see a peek of the animal and then they can reveal the flaps to see what is underneath. It is a very fun book that all three of my kids have enjoyed. They like the illustrations as they are nice and clean, but more importantly they love the Ta-DA reveal of the animals which usually sends them into peals of laughter.
It's a great book for 1 year olds as they really do enjoy the whole lift the flap thing (Think peek-a-boo) and they will get into it. Sometimes they get into it a BIT too much and flaps get ripped but it's nothing that a bit of scotch tape can't handle. It's a great book to give as a gift for a 1 year old birthday!
Love the disclaimer. =) Checked this out through your FB mention (love your Week of Menus, too, btw!). You should absolutely include a link to Amazon through your recommendations, btw. In no way would I think you're trying to make a quick buck out of your personal interest in kids' books (although if you do, hey, who's gonna blame you?!).
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually think that many books are worth buying because kids love books and they love the familiarity of the same titles again and again, especially young ones. But really, the library is a wonderful wonderful resource for FREE books. I put the amazon link for convenience for those who may want to buy (and if I do make a few cents off of a recommendation, no one will hate me right?)
