About this book

This appealing story, in lift-the-flap, board-book format has been a favourite with toddlers ever since it was first published in 1982.

As you lift the flaps in search of an ideal pet, a host of different zoo animals will be revealed, until the right pet is finally discovered. Simple, stylish and highly interactive, this book invites constant re-reading. The sturdy flaps are perfect for small fingers to lift, and children will still love this book when they are ready to start school.
