Collectors and gifting buyers will appreciate the consistent format across all three books, the recognizable authorial voice of Rod Campbell, and the instant recognizability of a trusted lift-the-flap staple that ages beautifully with every read.

Books Included in This Collection:
Oh Dear!
Buster the puppy spends a day on Grandma’s farm, with breakfast eggs proving elusive and excitement around every corner. The sturdy flaps invite little hands to peek behind every scene, revealing patterns, animals, and small plot twists that keep early readers engaged. The concise text and bold, friendly illustrations help children anticipate what comes next while reinforcing vocabulary related to farm life, animals, and daily routines. The tactile flaps make reading a hands-on experience, turning a simple story into a playful learning moment that families will return to again and again.

Noisy Farm
Join Sam the farm dog as the farm comes alive with a chorus of animal noises. This title invites children to predict and call out sounds—moo, baa, oink, and more—as each flap reveals a new creature and its particular cry. The energy of the illustrations pairs with the repetitive, sing-song cadence of the text to support early literacy and memory recall. By encouraging active participation, Noisy Farm strengthens listening skills, phonemic awareness, and confidence in using language to interact with others—perfect for shared reading, classroom activities, or calm at-home story time.

Dear Zoo
Rod Campbell’s classic lift-the-flap book keeps delivering delight with every turn of the page. A child requests a pet from the zoo, but the animals that arrive behind each flap don’t quite fit—until the perfect companion finally arrives. The simple narrative structure, paired with bold, colorful animals and durable flaps, makes this a timeless starter for early readers. It’s an ideal introduction to cause and effect, sequence, and prediction, all while building excitement around reading as an interactive, participatory activity that families will cherish and revisit year after year.
