4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining book, July 11, 2006

This review is from: Corduroy at the Zoo (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)

This book is so vibrant and colorful, its hard to imagine any toddler not loving it. There's not much to the story, no rhymes, no moral - just lots of beautifully drawn images of things kids love. The one drawback is very soft pages and soft flaps that can tear easilty in rough hands.

This review is from: Corduroy at the Zoo (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)

Another good book with great flaps to flip featuring Corduroy! I love reading books from this series to my toddler / preschooler before & after we go to the zoo (or the fire station, the beach, the library, etc.). Reading them helps us to make the most of the fun field trip while we're there.

This review is from: Corduroy at the Zoo (A Lift-the-Flap Book) (Hardcover)

I purchased this for a visit from my three and a half year old niece. As a former [...]teacher, I knew Corduroy was a favorite of the younger children. This book was a bit busy, but for a three and a half year old, it was good. Lifting the flaps provided the interaction she needed
and kept her attention for a short time. It is a good way to introduce children to the Corduroy series. My niece wanted to know why my
books "didn't talk" and I assured her it was more fun for her to do the "talking!" I would recommend this for a child up to five years old.
