From Rod Campbell, the bestselling creator of the beloved classic Dear Zoo , Dear Santa is a lift-the-flap novelty book being reissued in time for Christmas! In this delightful tale, Santa is looking for the perfect present to send to a special child. Lift the flaps to reveal a big kite, a bouncy ball, and a mask! But nothing seems quite right...until Christmas Eve, when Santa finds the perfect gift to leave under the tree. With lift-the-flaps throughout and a touch and feel element on the last page, this holiday tale is perfect for parents to read with their little ones. Review: A fun classic - My children enjoy this book and so do I. We have the Dear Zoo book and thought this one would be perfect to add to our Christmas collection. About the book: A little kid writes to Santa for something special. Santa comes up with different gifts but then decides maybe something better. The book is not a rhyming book but it is a good book to introduce kids to names of things (nouns) and describing words (adjectives). What I love: The flaps to open. That the last page has a touch and feel thing. That it is a board book which is good for little hands. Recommend for: Ages 0+ (The flaps are thin though so best not to leave unsupervised with little ones as they could easily tear off.) Beginning Reading level Gifting Review: If you love Dear Zoo, get this! - If your baby/toddler loves Dear Zoo, they will thoroughly enjoy Dear Santa! It has the same pattern--each page, they open a different gift and Santa decides it's too small, big, bouncy, etc. Then at the end, there is a special surprise that Santa decides is just right. :-) The last gift is even a touch-and-feel page! I love that this book has the same sturdy flaps as Dear Zoo...my 13-month-old has ripped off so many flaps, but never Dear Zoo, so at least this book will hold up, too. This is a great holiday version of Dear Zoo. Some Christmas books that are based on popular "regular" books seem gimicky and aren't as good, but I genuinely like this one. This and Little Blue Truck's Christmas are my baby's new favorites!

Cute for toddlers
My family does a book advent calendar every year and this book was chosen as part of it. With 2 young toddlers, this book was perfect, loved the different flaps. Also had a very cute storyline. Would suggest to others and would definitely buy again.

Great little book for three and four-year-olds
I teach three and four-year-olds with disabilities. These books are perfect for my students. The pictures are simple, but still interesting for the students. The story is in interactive keeping the students engaged.

Cute and themed
My 1 year old adores lift the flap books. We bought her this for Christmas and she still loves to read it with us. Some of the flaps are a bit small, but they can be opened with assistance. Overall, a cute themed book from the Dear Zoo range!

Perfecto para los peques. Divertido y entretenido.
Mis hijos son fans del libro "Dear Zoo". De hecho tuvimos que hacernos con la edición que emite sonidos también. Cuando vi este libro del mismo autor no lo dudé. Les encanta levantar las ventanitas y ver que hay detrás, y a mi hija de 13 meses, le encanta el último regalo.
