This gorgeous book for babies celebrates the Dear Zoo story - a boy who is trying to find the perfect pet. He is helped in his quest by the zoo, which sends him one animal after another to help him find the best pet.

However, the frog they send is too jumpy, the camel is too grumpy, the lion is too fierce and so on until the perfect pet is found for the little boy.

Instead of the traditional 'lift the flap' format for this book, there are 'touch and feel' elements on each of the pages that younger children can enjoy. Each of the animals being presented gets its own spread with a 'touch and feel' element including a fluffy lion's mane, a rough elephant's ear, a fur patch on the camel etc.  

There is also guidance for the person reading the story to explain what baby can feel on that page, making it a lovely book to share. It is and bound to be a hit with youngsters and parents alike.
