Macmillan Children’s Books, the publishers behind the acclaimed Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell, aimed to offer educators valuable resources linking the beloved book to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Their goal was to create content that seamlessly integrates Dear Zoo into early childhood education, aligning with EYFS objectives. By developing educational materials that connect the book’s themes and activities to EYFS standards, Macmillan sought to support teachers in using Dear Zoo as an effective tool for fostering young children’s development and learning. This initiative was designed to enhance the book’s educational impact and provide practical, curriculum-aligned resources for educators.
