It’s either a kid who hasn’t heard of pet shops or an eccentric collector with a ridiculous sense of entitlement, but I’d like to know for sure. We never find out the identity of the person asking the zoo for its residents so I’m going to make an educated guess. There now follows some daft whimsy along with the odd spoiler if your little one is in earshot and you still like to read aloud. And despite the great affection I have for this title, they’ve been bothering me since I first read it. That said, the English Literature graduate and pedant in me has some questions about elements of the plot. In fact, it’s one of the few books she hasn’t damaged, which is a sign of great esteem. She enjoys the story and it’s nice reading it again after Dylan and Xander grew out of it. It’s an enduring classic, I have to admit. One of Amelie’s favourite books at the moment is Dear Zoo.
