Best known for his classic lift-the-flap book, Dear Zoo, he is also the creator of the much-loved preschool character Buster. Ingeniously simple, with touches of gentle humour, Rod's books are loved by children, parents and teachers alike.
The ever-popular Dear Zoo in yet another innovative format which
ensures that this favourite story keeps fresh and popular.
*Parents in Touch*
In Dear Zoo Spin and Say the fun element are two spinners which can
be used to help teach simple concepts, first words, numbers,
different types of animals etc . . . It was a fun book to
share.

This book has been a big hit ... I think this book is a must for
anyone who loves Dear Zoo and Rod Campbell.

One of little man's first book was Dear Zoo, a bestseller that has
delighted generations of toddlers, I had to read it for him nearly
every night for a few months. He still likes Dear Zoo, so he was
happy to see the new Dear Zoo Spin and Say.
*Lilinha Angel’s World*
Both of my children are still massive Dear Zoo fans... This new
spin and say version really engaged Millie, she will happily sit
and 'read' it to herself or bring it over to us to read together.
The fact that she gets to spin, therefore effectively letting her
choose what she wants to land on and talk about, has really kept it
interesting for her.

The images are delightful and we think children would enjoy the
spinners.
*Made for Mums*
The Dear Zoo Spin and Say book has so much educational potential
including number, colour and animal recognition that I can see it
being a book that we continue to read time and time again . . . a
beautifully illustrated book which aids learning and encourages
parent/toddler interaction which I think is brilliant.

WHAT THE PARENT THOUGHT:
The text and illustrations are still charming, and the book
encourages children to interact with them, as well as perhaps
prompting the reader to think a little more of pets and animals
away from the book.
We have hundreds of books that we read in the pre-reader era, but I
don't recall one that featured a spinner so well. Whether it is you
turning the spinner to ask the child a question, or the child
turning the spinner to answer another or ask one of their own, it
works terrifically.
WHAT THE TEACHER THOUGHT
If you are familiar with Dear Zoo, which quite frankly who isn't,
then you'll understand and be intrigued by this book straight away.
The dials give it a certain something extra, another way to get a
child to engage with concepts and learning words enjoyably...The
use of repetition in the book is great, as are the opportunities it
gives children to learn about practising alliteration and rhyming
words.

My children adore Dear Zoo and this is a great twist on the
original. Both children loved the spinners and the toddler really
enjoyed guessing his favourite animals from the pictures. The book
is great for helping Little Sis learn her numbers and Big Brother
adds more animals to his repertoire!
*treadingonlego.com*
The book is perfect for teaching simple concepts, first words,
numbers and colours to toddlers and pre-schoolers. the sturdy pages
are packed with everyone's favourite animal friends from Dear Zoo,
as well as new wild animals and pets, and there's a different
question on every spread. How many? Who's the animal? What colour?
Simply spin the wheel, point and say!
