great book, could’ve done with a couple more zoo animals - a lion or polar bear would’ve done the trick.

Maar dan Nijntje in de diergaarde (opse Rotjeknors). M’n baby van 11 weken lachte een uur lang om dit boek, dus we geven het 5 sterren.

Leuk dat het op rijm is. Miste wel de tijgers, leeuwen, pinguïns, flamingo’s, ijsberen en de komodovaraan. Goed, als ze alle dieren zouden moeten benoemen, zou het een erg dik boek zijn.

Miffy is a miracle. Every single child loves her instantly. She's such a hit with my 18 month old daughter. We keep reading the books over and over again. They are fun, friendly, easy to understand for small children because they are close to home and very wonderfully illustrated. My daughter has two favorites: Miffy at the Zoo, and Miffy's House. We read them everyday. And ofcourse, Miffy is also one of my childhood heroes. She's allready over 50 years old.

Geweldig boek voor jonge kinderen!

Veelvuldig dit boek gelezen met mijn dochters. Nijntje gaat met papa nijntje in de trein richting de dierentuin en komt op elke bladzijde een nieuw dier tegen. Het is een kort en krachtig boek waarin een kind meegenomen wordt in een bepaalde belevingswereld. Mijn kinderen zijn er dol op. Ze zijn gek van de trein en dieren. Kortom een groot succes. Het boek wordt veel gebruikt thuis tot op heden.

I read this because I kept seeing Miffy merch and needed to know who Miffy was. I feel about this book the same way I feel about Brown Bear, Brown Bear, which is I don't see the appeal. However, preschoolers love Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and they made me a believer in the power of Eric Carle. So the real question is how do three-year-olds feel about Miffy? The next character I need to learn about is Moomin.

When I first read this book, I thought it was awfully old fashioned, but that makes sense when I realized that it was first published in 1963, long before I was born.

The rhyming narrative and simple, colorful illustrations make a good combination to read with children and the design may have inspired the Sanrio Hello Kitty creators.

Egyszerű, nagyon cuki. A 2 és 3/4 éves nagyon szereti Miffy-t, az állatokat is. Mármint az állatkertieket is. Ha belegondolok, kicsit fura, hogy a nyulak megnézik a vadállatokat a ketrecekben. Még jó, hogy háziállat-simogató nem volt ;)

Mr 14 months didn't seem to like this as much as he likes other books that explore real world places etc. such as the Maisy books. Perhaps to young yet. Will try again when he is older.

Cute illustrations. Miffy goes to the zoo by train. Sees parrots, zebra, and other animals. She even rides a tortoise.

This is a cute story and I'd be interested in reading more Miffy stories but I did find some of the dialogue clunky.
