Overview / 简介: |
| Did you ever wonder what animals say in different languages? In German a sheep says MC$h, but in Spain a sheep says Bee. Speaking of bees, in English they buzz, but in Swedish, bees say Surr. Complete with a guide to animal "languages" around the world, children and adults alike will enjoy seeing and hearing how animals "speak" in other lands. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-K What do a donkey, sheep, duck, horse, bee, cow, pig, cat, dog, bird, rooster, hen, frog, and elephant have in common? They all speak. And in this book, they speak 41 different languages including English, Afrikaans, Farsi, and Romany. The endpapers provide phonetic pronunciation guides for all 574 words, while each spread includes the English word(s) and highlights four or five other languages. The illustrations are colorful and charming. However, the flags connected with each language are not labeled, and since there is no country of Farsi or Romany, some readers might want to know what nation the accompanying flags represent. Additionally, Retoromanian appears to be spoken in various areas since a blend of flags resides beside it, but it's unclear where this language is spoken. Children could use the vibrant picture clues to read the book, and may just fill in the animal sounds in their own language, despite the actual words on the page.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Although most of us will not need to speak to a dog, cat or horse in any language. This book is a great introduction to the sounds produced in other languages. Linguists have found that one of the hardest things for adults to learn about languages, if they haven't been exposed to it previously, are the sounds that do not exist in their native language. This is a great opportunity to introduce young children to sounds of the world. |
