With bright, bold artwork, a catchy refrain and a whole host of favourite animals, Dear Zoo is a must for every child's bookshelf - and the extra-thick paper, shiny foiled jacket and beautifully designed slipcase make this the perfect birthday, Christening or Christmas present to be treasured for years.
