Summary: Excellent baby/preschool book
Comment: This is one of my personal favourites in the Miffy series, where Miffy (a little girl bunny) goes to the zoo with her father. They take the train and go to see the parrots, a zebra, a kangaroo, an elephant, a monkey, two giraffes, and a turtle. It's great fun for kids with the bright-coloured simple pictures. My one-year old daughter loves to point at the pictures and "say" the names of the animals. The text has four lines of rhyme on each page that describe what is seen on the page. After reading it only a few times, my daughter can now spot any monkey a mile away.

Summary: Miffy at the Zoo
Comment: I have the original version of Miffy at the Zoo, published in 1965, and printed in Holland. I have recently bought the updated version,owing to wear and tear on the first copy. I am quite disappointed that the text has been changed, as my 15 month old grand-daughter was becoming so familiar with the original. I can't quite understand why parrots can't say "Pretty Polly" now and have to say "Pretty bird" instead! And why does Miffy have to have a 'father' and not a Daddy? The repeated use of the word 'funny' on the zebra page implies a certain lack of imagination on the part of the translator. Am I just being over-fussy to want to read the original text I wonder? I don't dislike the rhyming text, but the original was simpler and very direct for young children.

Summary: I loved it, now my son does too!
Comment: My son loves the pictures and colours in these books. I remember loving the colours too when I was a child reading them in England. When I read them to him, I actually get "warm fuzzies" from the nice memories they bring back.
