Dear Zoo

Book • 1982
In this delightful tale, a child writes to the zoo asking for a pet.

The zoo responds by sending various animals, each hidden behind flaps in the form of crates and packing cases.

However, each animal is returned for different reasons until the zoo finally sends a dog, which is kept because it is 'perfect'.

The book is a fun introduction to animals and their characteristics, with interactive elements that make it engaging for young readers.
