Ladybird's The Zoo includes all the animals you would expect to find.
Like all Ladybird books, the sentences and pictures match to help early readers work out the words for themselves.
I love the typeface, which reminds me of the way a school teacher would write words on the blackboard when I was little. But, what makes these books so special is the illustrations; which are filled with so much detail that your eyes simply melt into the scenery, recording every detail to memory that will last the rest of your life.
I have opened books that I have not seen for over forty years and still remember the pictures as if I had only viewed them yesterday.
No wonder these books have so many collectors eager to recapture a little of the nostalgia of their youth.
What better book to teach your own children to read!
