Dear Zoo Noisy Book

Product Information

With bright, bold artwork, a simple, engaging text and a whole host of favourite farm animals, Noisy Farm is a perfect first farm animal story book – and the chunky board book format and sturdy card flaps make it great for small hands. This appealing story, in lift-the-flap, board-book format has been a favourite with toddlers ever since it was first published in 1982. months later this is still a firm favorite with my niece, who wanted it read three times before bed. She has memorized it now, and certainly knows the name of all the animals, but seems to enjoy pretending to not know them. If I ask, "What do you think is in this cage?" and she knows it is a lion, she'll say "Giraffe!" and when we get to the giraffe she'll insist it's a kitty, and that sort of thing. Two-year-olds are quite contrary.

But my daughter really loves this book. And my husband told me to lighten up, get off my high horse and "it's only a kids' book. Don't worry about it." So maybe the lift up flaps are great. And how lovely it would be to have a zoo keep sending you animals on demand. Yeah, ok, it's a fab book. The book contains lots of adjectives. Look at photos of each animal and think of other adjectives to describe them. Could you write a sequel to the book, which involves someone asking for something but each time they receive a gift, there is something ‘wrong’ with it? As he hasn't ruled out one day becoming a zookeeper, Ben found the premise of this book intriguing; a kid writes a letter to the zoo and gets free stuff. Sounds great, right? After all, he's currently unemployed and can't very well buy his own things, let alone afford a pet. Also there's flaps and those always blow his mind.When I "read" it, I had a box marked "From the Zoo" (as if the kids could read it) and I would just say the same line over and over again: Parents / older brothers and sisters might have read this book when they were young. Interview them and find out what other books they remember from their childhood.

This story is a fun introduction to animals and their characteristics. It is written in the first person, with repetitive sentences. The nature of repetitiveness enables young readers to predict and engage with the story. I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet..." (That's a direct quote from the book) and then I'd pull out a different puppet from the box and bring it to life for a few seconds. It was fun to have the parents and talking kids chant the line over and over with me. And it was even more fun to see the children's excitement when a "live" animal came out of the box. Priceless.
