A nice interaction tale with various flaps as parents are able to teach children the different animals that can be found at the zoo. I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet..." (That's a direct quote from the book) and then I'd pull out a different puppet from the box and bring it to life for a few seconds. It was fun to have the parents and talking kids chant the line over and over with me. And it was even more fun to see the children's excitement when a "live" animal came out of the box. Priceless.

Is it a bit hypocritical of me to be endorsing this book, based on my ethical beliefs that animals are not toys to be swapped, sold on, imprisoned or treated as inanimate objects, blah, blah, blah. Am I delivering a dark, subconscious message of irresponsibility to my child when I read her this?

When I "read" it, I had a box marked "From the Zoo" (as if the kids could read it) and I would just say the same line over and over again: With bright, bold artwork, a simple, engaging text and a whole host of favourite farm animals, Noisy Farm is a perfect first farm animal story book – and the chunky board book format and sturdy card flaps make it great for small hands.

There are probably a few animals that I've forgotten about, but you get the gist. Each are in a crate/cage/box/basket, and you get to Lift-the-Flaps. The hungry mouse likes eating cheese, the rabbit likes carrots and the monkey likes bananas, but what about the hungry tiger? Find out in this fun and inventive touch-and-feel book from Rod Campbell, the author of Dear Zoo. As children lift the flaps to discover the seven creatures from the zoo that would make problematic pets, they will delight in pressing the buttons to create the correct accompanying animal noise, whether it is a hiss, roar or a ribbit.

Meet Sam the farm dog, visit the animals and don't forget to join in by calling out their noises! This review is for Dear Zoo: Noisy Book, which I think is the best of all the many versions and formats. It begins: But this book has a delightful extra feature. It is a “noisy” book! And I can assure you (because I’ve done this myself) that if you accidentally sit on it, you will find that it might trumpet at you, or chatter like a monkey, or even (and this is a bit scary if you’re not expecting it!) even hiss like a snake! But my daughter really loves this book. And my husband told me to lighten up, get off my high horse and "it's only a kids' book. Don't worry about it." So maybe the lift up flaps are great. And how lovely it would be to have a zoo keep sending you animals on demand. Yeah, ok, it's a fab book.
