Hi everyone, welcome back to Read with Papa. Today we'll be reading this lovely book called Dear Zoo, which is a lift the flap book. So you lift the flaps back and you see what animal they sent from the zoo. And this book is written by Rod Campbell.

I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet. They sent me an, I'm going to lift the flap, and an elephant. He was too big. I sent him back. So they sent me a, I'll lift the flap here, and what's this? It's a giraffe. He was too tall. I sent him back.

So they sent me a, lifting the flap here, it says danger on the box, a lion. He was too fierce. I sent him back.

So they sent me a... This one shows with care and it's two panels. Peel them both back. And it's a camel. He was too grumpy. I sent him back.

So they sent me A and playing this one back. it's a snake. He was too scary. I sent him back.

So they sent me a, this one looks like a fun one. It's a monkey eating a banana. He was too naughty. I sent him back. So they sent me a, it's a little box with holes in it. A frog. He was too jumpy. I sent him back. So they thought very hard.

and sent me a... this one looks like a little cage that says from all your friends at the zoo. I lift it back and it's a puppy. He was perfect. I kept him. The end.
