U
A delightful read! The story is heartwarming and the message is clear without being preachy. My daughter asks me to read this every night before bed. The colorful pictures really bring the characters to life.
A classic lift-the-flap picture book that delights young readers through repetition, surprise, and simple humor. The story follows a child who writes to the zoo asking for a pet, only to receive a series of unsuitable animals—each revealed by lifting a flap—until the perfect one arrives. With bold illustrations, minimal text, and an interactive format, the book encourages curiosity and participation, making it ideal for toddlers and early readers. Its simplicity, combined with tactile engagement, explains why it remains a timeless favorite in early childhood reading.
