Thank you to Toppsta and the publishers for my competition win of this. I loved it and cannot wait to read it with my littlie when she arrives!

My Little One loved reading this book. We had fun following Sam the dog on his day on the farm. The lift-the-flap pages were fun and what they revealed was a source of laughter and delight.

The artwork is bold and bright. The words are simple and engaging. It's easy to see why Rod Campbell's books are a hit with babies and toddlers.

Sam is a farm dog who hears all sorts of sounds. Sam finds the animals that are making the sounds as he runs around the farm. This is a 'lift the flap' book that shows you were the babies are of all the animals who are making the sounds. A BB that will help very small children become acquainted with all the animals that live on a farm.

A lovely little board book with lift the flaps. My 1 year old and I really enjoyed it. Great illustrations, lots of nice pics of parent animals with their babies, and a cute dog throughout.

We follow Sam along the chaotic farm lifting flaps and finding babies of each animal. The font and illustrations remind me of Pamela Allen’s books so if you are a fan of those, you will enjoy this.

Rosie is really quite fond of lift-the-flap books and animal sounds right now, so this ticked a couple of boxes for us. We gave it to her for her first birthday as “Dear Zoo” is one of her favourite books.

I think Rosie will only come to enjoy this book even more as time passes and as she learns to read. For now she is just loving us oinking at her and letting her check what’s underneath each flap.

We love Rod Campbell, my son is a little old (3) for this book but enjoyed it nevertheless. Flaps are interesting and don’t age. 😬

Grandie gave this book to Jack, and she brought it out for our road trip back to Mississippi. As expected, Jack loved the farm animals, and it sparked many rounds of singing Old McDonald.

Anthony loved this.... guessing the animal on the following page from clues.
