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

Curious minds will love the playful, brightly coloured collages and multilingual exploration of animals and their names from around the world. This beautiful board book pairs gorgeous collages of eighteen types of well-known 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.

Includes iconic and well-known animals from around the world such as the giraffe, snail, butterfly, deer, peacock, and octopus. The Words of the World board book series encourages multilingual exploration and curiosity about our world among young readers. 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

A perfect gift to help spark curiosity, a love of learning, and language skills in young readers. Printed on FSC-certified paper with vegetable inks.

"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
