Description

A super-size board book with an ultra-sturdy case cover and eleven subject-themed spreads depicts all the essential objects that children encounter in daily life. Laced with healthy doses of humour and reality, these are objects that every child will recognise and will elicit knowing smiles from their parents: Its not just a banana, but also a rotten banana, a misplaced sock, a spilled glass of milk . . . and so much more. If that werent enough, every word comes in four languages English, Spanish, French, and Arabic perfect for introducing todays baby to a multilingual world.

Reviews

In an increasingly multicultural world, and given the numbers of migrants making fresh starts in new countries, this book could be profoundly useful in many families and in elementary school libraries as well. A valuable tool across a variety of settings.-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
