The first gift I get my own kids and nieces and nephews is always Dear Zoo. It is an AMAZING lift-the flap board book that no child can only read once. My cuties want to read this with me over and over and it’s one that doesn’t get annoying to me. It has a cute, short story about a boy who writes to the zoo to send him a pet but it takes them a few tries to get it right! Simple pages, fun flaps, and now it’s available as a board book-growing up we had this book and it was just regular paper. Cheap price tag for an AMAZING gift.
