I never bought it but I ended up using my own cards and learned the song and actions from YouTube lol Zoophonics Sounds.
I'm a lot like Daycare, I find things I think the kids will like and take things I like from different teaching styles and mic them all up lol. I incorporate a Montessori, RIE, The California Learning Foundations, The Family Childcare Curriculum, Preschool Palace, Zoo Phonics etc into one big mass of activities lol.
This is what I was thinking about doing, too. I have tons of cards from using over the years in other curriculum.
