Dear Zoo

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Rod Campbell

February 02, 2007
My 15 month old boy loves this book mainly because he loves opening flaps! We vary between this and the 'Where's Spot' book (where the flaps are easier to spot). He never seems to tire of them!

Where's Spot? (Lift-the-flap Book)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Eric Hill

October 30, 2003
This much-loved classic is my 10-month old boy's favourite. We deliberately went for the hardback version with board pages, which is capable of withstanding the inevitable bashing it receives better than the paperback version. (The flaps are thin card - hardly indestructible but sturdy enough to require some considerable effort to tear.)

Like the review above, I was mildly concerned about the repetition of the word "no" throughout the book, but that's just how the book is and the most important thing is that my son loves interacting with it, always attacking each flap with gusto to see what's underneath it, and that's the most important thing really.

Maisy's Bedtime (Maisy storybooks)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Lucy Cousins

August 16, 1999
We are also true fans, but the additional Maisy doll really was the icing on te cake! My son is 18 months old, and he really loves it-especially taking off the clothes, and is truly amazed and delighted to see that Maisy has a bellybutton, too!

Fox's Socks (Tales from Acorn Wood)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Julia Donaldson

July 18, 2003
We found this tale of Fox and his search for his clothes lovely and useful. The story is fun. The length of the story and content seems just the right appeal for toddlers (I have a 18m old ) to get interested in learning clothes & then 'getting dressed' too. The lengh of the book seems good for us so that it stays interesting (and usually we like to read it again!). We love 'lift the flap' books too & 'finding the clothes' in this one is fun.

The Bedtime Bear: a Pop-up Book for Bedtime: A Pop-up Book for Bedtime

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Ian Whybrow

October 01, 2004
I introduced my daughter to this book a month ago when she was 9 months old, and it is by far her favourite book. She crawls over to it and lobs other books out of the way to get to it, and then happily sits turning the pages and opening and closing the flaps, she can't get enough of it no matter what time of day it is, although we also read it every night before bed as well. We've had to buy a second copy as I know she's going to tear something soon, but to date it has withstood her vigorous opening/closing/page turning! I would highly recommend it.

The Bad-tempered Ladybird (Picture Puffin)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Eric Carle

September 30, 1982
A great book, more worthwhile than many thanks to its amusingly negative protagonist (the ladybird) and universal lesson about the importance of sharing.

Every little girl should have this book - it is fabulous, my girls spend hours playing with it. We have bought it as a present for most of their friends and they love it too.

Noddy Lift-the-Flap Pocket Library

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Enid Blyton

July 03, 2006
Initially I did not like these books at all. The flaps are tiny and fragile - very easy for little people to pull off without even meaning to. I was not impressed with the way that some of the flaps only have writing underneath, for example ' one, well done'. However, my daughter loves these books and is quite obsessed. She also loves the Dr Seuss collection. Both sets are perfect for little hands (she is 1). She spends as much time putting them in and out of their box as she does reading them. A positive about the Noddy books are the bright pictures. I voted a four because they have made my daughter happy and made her love books even more.

Alice in Wonderland: Pop-up Book

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Pop-up Books
by: Lewis Carroll

November 03, 2003
This is quite possibly the most meticulously detailed and expertly crafted pop-up book I have ever seen. It is my daughter's "special book" and can only be browsed with Mummy or Daddy at her side - basically because it is an absolute masterpiece, plus it delights both adults and children alike. Though the story is obviously abridged, it is still very detailed and makes the ultimate bedtime story - a page a night perhaps.
