About

"Dear Zoo" is an animal flip book that provides predictive functions. This book has been best-selling for more than 30 years and is almost a household name in Europe and the United States. There is a small flip on each page of the book. Parents can guide their children to guess the animals hidden under the flip through repeated plots and textual hints, thereby constructing their children's understanding of animals. It not only helps children understand Animals, learn adjectives and quantifiers related to animals. The lively and interesting page-turning design also satisfies children's sense of surprise and accomplishment, making them unable to help but turn over and over again and read again and again.

The design of this book considers the baby's characteristics. For example, the corners of the book are rounded and will not scratch the baby's delicate hands. The small turning pages inside have small circular notches to facilitate baby turning.

"Dear Zoo" was recommended by the New York Library website as "100 Picture Books Everyone Should Know" and was selected into the "U.S. National Curriculum Reading List".
