"What kind of animal says "Mung-Mung, BoBo, Gav-Gav,
Wow-Wow," or "Woof-Woof?" Fold out the page
to find it's a dog. Successive gatefolds hide farm or household
animals, but the onomatopoeic words from their mouths come
from languages as diverse as Korean, Turkish, Swedish, and
Hindi... Bidga's lightly lined, pastel illustrations are beautiful
and surprisingly lively, full of interesting type faces for
each of the words and accompanied by tiny, but clear labels
for the language of each. Not all toddlers will grasp the
concept of different languages, but all will enjoy guessing
what animal comes next. And it'll have them nuff-nuffing all
the way home. (Picture book. 2-7)
