Reviews

[Joshua]

Tremendously good paper art and a wonderful eye-opening book that points out that not all sounds sound the same to speakers of different languages - a simple but profound idea that makes you face your assumptions about the world and helps in a small way to see - or hear - things from someone else's point of view.

[Paula]

The illustrations are not very bright but collages and maybe harder to see. Lots of different languages for the same word and not only animal sounds. Large format.
