Reddit reviews Dear Zoo: A Lift-the-Flap Book

Really? It looks to me like there's still plenty at $0.01

My daughter loves books and I really like some of the Sandra Boyton books. We got this vinyl one, "Barnyard Bath", for bathtime- it's silly, short, and gets the kids involved in cleaning the animals and then themselves.

Dear Zoo is a classic lift-the-flap with pretty sturdy flaps. Goodnight Gorilla is also an old school book with a simple story told mostly through the pictures.

I'm loving all the suggestions!

I second the library suggestion- they will have so many resources available to you, usually including story times specifically for this age group! It’s a great way to learn practices you can bring home.

I would check out Jbrary - this blog is run by two children’s librarians and they have TONS of resources and book suggestions. They also have a YouTube channel with lots of songs, rhymes and finger plays to work in with literacy development.

For 1-year olds you should look for board books- sturdy cardboard books that your child will easily be able to handle with you.

Some book suggestions:

Where is Green Sheep? By Mem Fox

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Dog’s Colorful Day by Emma Dodd

Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell


There are TONS of books that would be great for this age- those are just some of my favorites. Others you might consider:

-Anything by Donald Crews

-“Spot” books by Eric Hill


-Pete the Cat by James Dean/Eric Litwin (there are board books available specifically for young readers)


-“The Bear” books by Karma Wilson- these aren’t usually available as board books but they are great rhyming stories


-“Maisy” series by Lucy Cousins


I apologize for any formatting issues- posting from mobile. Good luck!

Oh, get the interactive books they can touch. My son loves to feel the different textures on the books. He loves the "Where is baby's _____?" series like "Where is Baby's Belly Button?" you lift the flaps to reveal the answer. Dear Zoo is another great book with flaps. He loves Peeka who? Or the peeka flaps books. There are some reasonable ones with prime shipping:
