Others in the series that I particularly remember and love (both from my childhood & then from reading to my girls) are 'The Colour Kittens' and 'The Little Engine that Could'.

Makes dreadful noises whenever he is spoken to. My grandson got the idea of the expletives quite quickly. Entitled 'The Very Naughty Rhino' I bought it at the Werribee Open Range Zoo which has a great collection of animal stories in their shop. The book has a happy ending - like all bad habits (at least in stories), the very naughty rhino does grow out of expletives as a means of communication. Visually the book has quite wonderful illustrations. On the subject of zoo animals there’s a very cheeky book about a naughty little rhino. Makes dreadful noises whenever he is spoken to.

Tenzin misses her mates and it is a shame we have not managed to catch up over this holiday. Dear Zoois one of Tenzin's favourite books, she knows exactly where all the flaps are and the noises for the animals, She growls at any lions, tigers or scary looking things. Kepp up the good work Helena Hey Lou

Tycho is currently 19 months and is obsessed with animals. He can't get enough of them. In real life, in books, ornaments, and soft toys. This site is really lovely and I'll be back to visit on a regular basis.

It would be on my all time "favorite" list of kids books, along with The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Possum Magic. I think I must have ruined my first copy of Dear Zoo, because I can remember having this pristine hardback sitting in my shelves for ages - too scared to read it in case I wrecked it - long after I had grown out of ripping books.

Jake (20 months) has always loved animals and the interactive flaps in Dear Zoo meant it was hit early on. Now as he's getting older both books lend themselves to lots of extension chats and we can easily see them contining to come home for a few years more. Haven't see Lori Froeb's Zoo, so have to try that next time! We’ve checked out Dear Zoo and Good Night Gorilla from the library more times than I can count.
