Dear Zoo

Dear Zoo. Rod Campbell. I think that Dear Zoo is quite a good story for my sister and me. I love the idea of the zoo sending us funny pets. I think the monkey is the best animal in the book and really I would want to keep him, except he is too cheeky!  I also think it is funny when we consider cutting a hole in the ceiling so we can keep the giraffe! My Mom tells us this story using toy animals wrapped up in brown paper bags and we have great fun.
