Animal Talk: Mexican Folk Art Animal Sounds in English and Spanish (First Concepts in Mexican Folk Art)

Did you know that animals that live in one country dont always talk the same language as animals from somewhere else? Take a rooster for instance. In English-speaking countries he says cock-a-doodle-doo when he has a notion to announce himself or to greet the dawn. But in Spanish-speaking countries he says ki-kiri-ki. Emerging readers will delight in identifying the animals depicted on each new page. And the bilingual text invites parent and child into an interactive and playful reading experience for acting out animal sounds in English and Spanish. Craftsman Rub Fuentes and Efran Broa from the Mexican state of Oaxaca fill the pages of Animal Talk with vibrant wildly imaginative figures of familiar animals. Animal Talk is the fifth book in Cynthia Weills charming First Concepts in Mexican Folk Art series. It is her passion to promote the work of artisans from around the world through early concept books.
