People speak different languages all around.
How about animal sounds?
This colorful picture book invites us to travel around the world from dawn to dusk, and learn the sounds of 10 animals – rooster, bird, bee, monkey, duck, frog, pig, dog, mouse, and cat – in 16 different languages.
Each picture has a little story hidden about a little chick who is looking for the owner of a present and is helped by more and more animals on every page.
This book is one of the books in the second series of social-driven picture books, Wadwang Nangsue, that have stirred the traditional view and expectations of children's books in Thailand. The two book sets attempt not only to develop the children but also to move the whole society forward to the kinder and more open-minded ideal.
