Dear Zoo…I want a pet!

In Nursery we have been reading a story called Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell.

“I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet….” The children loved lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent - a monkey, a lion and even an elephant! But will they ever manage to send the perfect pet?

We have had so much fun moving like the animals in the story and making animal noises. We have talked about why the animals wouldn’t make a good pet and what might happen if we had them in our homes. The lion might even try to eat us!
