This went over really well at story time for the local immigrant centre daycare.
This was a great little story and book. I loved how it was so simple yet so funny. Great way to entertain a child.
Just read this 5 times then Jim had to read it then Trent read it to himself. I'd say it is a new favorite.
Quick, fun, interactive, playful.
Perfect for 2 yo.
So, I guess, perfect for me :)))

A classic that I'd never encountered until I had my own child. Great setup, pacing, and pictures. The perfect payoff for a toddler's imagination.

Tired and hungry, yet this was able to soothe him until the bottle was ready.

Another one of the early precursors to the ‘lift-the-flap’ phenomenon that would sweep throughout the early 80s and remain with us. As with [b:Where's Spot?|132609|Where's Spot?|Eric Hill|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387700896l/132609._SX50_.jpg|783733], there is an invitation here to interact with hidden animals. This time though there is a more repetitive refrain and slightly simpler textual sequence alongside alliteration and rhyme.
You would think that having uncovered all the different ‘pets’ for the first time our young reader would have absorbed all the magic and be done with the book's 'trick' but this has never been the case in my experience. Children will happily return and enjoy the reveal whether it is because of the delight of knowing or the comfort that comes with control I'll never know. For me, I always enjoyed the comical absurdity of it all. A Zoo sending a child a lion or a crocodile as a present is as silly as it is funny and young readers take delight in this too.

This is quite a scary book with many jump scares with a rlly cute ending my little niece loved it
