And the same time my mummy got me this book on the Zoo. I loved reading it every day and when I went to the Zoo I enjoyed naming the different animals that I could spot like the elephant, monkey & peacock! I like making the different animal sounds from this book a lot.” - Yuvaan Colouring book review by Shreshthavi (@justclickit28) “After reading my book my mummy gave me another surprise. I got the same story as a colouring book. I kept reading the story and colouring my character in it. I liked it a lot.” - Shreshthavi Traffic Jam Adventure review by @cuppycakes_muffins11 “I got this book in return gift for my friends birthday party. It is a nice book where my parents take me to see the planets show. And I can count a lot of objects from this book. Thank you Aashvi for this gift.” - Kyra Noisy Holiday review by @smitababbles “To be honest I thought this picture book is for kids like my younger sister. But one day I was bored and so I happened to read it. And I found it to be such a beautiful book about a farm and the activities that I could do on a farm. I also learnt about a type of insects called ‘Cicadas’ that were mentioned in this book. Guess what? It is not pronounced as See-Ka-Daas but as Suh-Kaa-Duhz!!” - Pihu Play I Spy reviewed by @akira.kiara “My sister and I sometimes play together, sometimes fight too. But today we sat together and read this book that has our names on it. In this book, we mix different colours to form a new colour. Our mummy taught us that red, yellow and blue are called primary colours. Did you know that?” - Aiara & Kaira If you too are looking for some educational gifts for your kids, or want to spark curiosity for books in your kids then check out all the 17 Zooboo books from ages 0-10!
