Fish. Poisson. Pez. In this delightful board book, explore words of the world and learn the names of a variety of colourful ocean animals in the six most widely spoken languages.

Curious minds will love the playful, brightly coloured collages and multilingual exploration of ocean animals and their names from around the world.

This beautiful board book pairs gorgeous collages of eighteen types of ocean animals with their names across the six most popular languages worldwide: English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Chinese (Mandarin), and Arabic, as well as the language of universal friendship, Esperanto.

This book is the perfect size for little hands, and children (and parents) will enjoy testing out each word and identifying similarities in sounds across languages as well as the names that stand out.

The Words of the World board book series encourages multilingual exploration and curiosity about our world among young readers. Each book promotes language learning through playful and sophisticated collages and even includes phonetic pronunciation for Hindi, Chinese, and Arabic.

Language is a powerful tool that binds us together across cultures, and developing our skills beyond a single language helps us to expand our ability to:

Problem-solve and use critical-thinking skills Consider other people's perspectives Become aware of our surroundings

Reviews for Ocean Animals (Eng Chn Hnd Spn Fre Ara Esp)

Lovely and informative. -Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production A Fuse #8 Production / School Library Journal 2021 Board Books Featured Series Stunning new series...each book features not one but six languages, taking a new generation of readers one step closer to inclusion and representation in the books they consume. -Let's Talk Picture Books Best Children's Books of 2021 Red Tricycle Attractive paper collages...cut and layered to create arresting images. Lovely. -Kirkus Reviews A board book series that shows an animal, or plant, and then how to say it in seven different languages. Each book has the same languages, which are color coded on the back so you can easily identify, and those languages that use characters, there is a pronunciation underneath. -Storymamas
