Turn the pages and the zoo is waiting: elephants, lions, tigers, flamingos, giraffes and more, with every enclosure empty until a small zookeeper fills it. Over 240 stickers bring the scenes to life, and the choice of what goes where belongs entirely to the child, which is precisely why the book gets finished instead of abandoned.

The scenes go everywhere a real zoo trip goes. Fill the aquarium, populate the monkey enclosure, stock the lion's den and crowd the bird house, with lots of animal words to learn along the way, so vocabulary arrives in the middle of the fun rather than as a lesson. Eight full pages of stickers keep the supply well ahead of demand.

Sized to live in a bag, ready for the restaurant, the waiting room and the long drive. By Holly Bathie, illustrated by Gareth Lucas. If your zookeeper wants more animals, Little First Stickers In the Forest and the whole series are also at Stellar Luxe.
