Corduroy at the Zoo (Lift-the-Flap Books)

The book received was ok. It has a good story but 90% of the flaps were all missing/ripped out before we even received the book in the mail. A book that has most of the flips ripped out shouldn’t be sold.

Another good book with great flaps to flip featuring Corduroy! I love reading books from this series to my toddler / preschooler before & after we go to the zoo (or the fire station, the beach, the library, etc.). Reading them helps us to make the most of the fun field trip while we're there.

I purchased this for a visit from my three and a half year old niece. As a former [...]teacher, I knew Corduroy was a favorite of the younger children. This book was a bit busy, but for a three and a half year old, it was good. Lifting the flaps provided the interaction she needed and kept her attention for a short time. It is a good way to introduce children to the Corduroy series. My niece wanted to know why my books "didn't talk" and I assured her it was more fun for her to do the "talking!" I would recommend this for a child up to five years old.

This book is so vibrant and colorful, its hard to imagine any toddler not loving it. There's not much to the story, no rhymes, no moral - just lots of beautifully drawn images of things kids love. The one drawback is very soft pages and soft flaps that can tear easilty in rough hands.
