This book is a suitable beginning for the youngest children to get to know Arabic letters and the names of animals. Its beautiful illustrations include the funny, cheerful scenes children love, and each scene tells a story that can set a child’s imagination free to invent their own. It is written to be pronounced and understood in standard Arabic (if read with vowel marks) or in colloquial Arabic (if read without them). The choice is yours, so do not worry about the language—just enjoy the reading and the pictures with your children!
