Oink-Oink: And Other Animal SoundsBoard Books, 15 February 2007

A cat might meow in English, but what does it do in Korean? Very young readers discover how animals of different cultures make their own unique sounds in this engaging picture book. They learn what sound a monkey makes in Swedish ("Twee-twee"), how a duck quacks in Japanese ("Ga-ga"), and how to croak like a frog in Filipino ("Ko-kak"). Each animal's signature sound ("what animal says") appears in three different languages. A whimsical cut-paper image of the animal appears when the page is turned. Oink-oink introduces children to the concept of cultural diversity while showcasing a variety of delightful sounds that they'll relish repeating.
