About this title: A boy wants a pet, and so he writes to the zoo asking them to send him one. At first the zoo sends him an elephant, but the boy thinks it is too big, so he sends it back. Then the zoo sends him a giraffe, but the boy thinks it is too tall, so he sends it back as well. The zoo continues to send potential gifts to the boy, but the boy finds fault with each of them. Will the zoo ever send the perfect house pet for a little boy? Readers can participate in the story by lifting the flaps to open the various packages from the zoo. Color illustrations accompany the text.

"This picture book is a born classic and perfect for storytimes for the very young. The plot is simple a child writes to the zoo asking for a pet but each animal they send is wrong. The elephant is too big, and the monkey is too naughty but eventually the zoo sends an animal which is perfect. The book has lots of flaps to lift which reveals the pet and children will love shouting out the name of the animals and repeating the words. The pictures are bright and colourful and this book is bound to be asked for again and again. I recommend this book to every parent and it should be on every child's bookshelf. Happy reading!"
