Dear Santa: A Lift-the-Flap Book

My family does a book advent calendar every year and this book was chosen as part of it. With 2 young toddlers, this book was perfect, loved the different flaps. Also had a very cute storyline. Would suggest to others and would definitely buy again.

My children enjoy this book and so do I. We have the Dear Zoo book and thought this one would be perfect to add to our Christmas collection. About the book: A little kid writes to Santa for something special. Santa comes up with different gifts but then decides maybe something better. The book is not a rhyming book but it is a good book to introduce kids to names of things (nouns) and describing words (adjectives). What I love: The flaps to open. That the last page has a touch and feel thing. That it is a board book which is good for little hands. Recommend for: Ages 0+ (The flaps are thin though so best not to leave unsupervised with little ones as they could easily tear off.) Beginning Reading level Gifting

I teach three and four-year-olds with disabilities. These books are perfect for my students. The pictures are simple, but still interesting for the students. The story is in interactive keeping the students engaged.

The book is a lovely addition to our bookshelf, and my 1 year old daughter loves lifting the flaps and reading with me! A nice sturdy book that can handle even the toughest of toddlers!

Wonderful book! I bought this book for my son ( 15 mo ) who loves “Dear Zoo” and it was an instant hit. The clean pages with brightly colored flap illustrations draw interest and the simple repetitive words encourage engagement and comfort.

My 1 year old adores lift the flap books. We bought her this for Christmas and she still loves to read it with us. Some of the flaps are a bit small, but they can be opened with assistance. Overall, a cute themed book from the Dear Zoo range!

If your baby/toddler loves Dear Zoo, they will thoroughly enjoy Dear Santa! It has the same pattern--each page, they open a different gift and Santa decides it's too small, big, bouncy, etc. Then at the end, there is a special surprise that Santa decides is just right. :-) The last gift is even a touch-and-feel page! I love that this book has the same sturdy flaps as Dear Zoo...my 13-month-old has ripped off so many flaps, but never Dear Zoo, so at least this book will hold up, too. This is a great holiday version of Dear Zoo. Some Christmas books that are based on popular "regular" books seem gimicky and aren't as good, but I genuinely like this one. This and Little Blue Truck's Christmas are my baby's new favorites!

Such a fun find! Dear Zoo was one of my favorite books as a kid and I had no idea they made a Dear Santa! Super cute book and my 4 month old loves it!
