In this delightful board book, explore words of the world and learn the names of a variety of colorful animals in the six most widely spoken languages.

Curious minds will love the playful, brightly colored collages and multilingual exploration of animals and their names from around the world.

This beautiful board book pairs gorgeous collages of eighteen types of animals with their names across the six most popular languages worldwide: English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Chinese (Mandarin), and Arabic, as well as the language of universal friendship, Esperanto.

This book is the perfect size for little hands, and children (and parents) will enjoy testing out each word and identifying similarities in sounds across languages as well as the names that stand out.

The Words of the World board book series encourages multilingual exploration and curiosity about our world among young readers. Each book promotes language learning through playful and sophisticated collages and even includes phonetic pronunciation for Hindi, Chinese, and Arabic.

Language is a powerful tool that binds us together across cultures, and developing our skills beyond a single language helps us to expand our ability to:

  • Problem-solve and use critical-thinking skills
  • Consider other people’s perspectives
  • Become aware of our surroundings

A perfect gift to help spark curiosity, a love of learning, and language skills in young readers. Printed on FSC-certified paper with vegetable inks.

The board pages are thick and sturdy enough that they survived him chewing a corner, and the colorful illustrations make it easy to keep his attention.

Stella ★★★★★

The six-language layout is such a clever way to introduce new sounds to my baby, and the bright animal illustrations keep her engaged for way longer than our other board books. Even I’ve learned a few words in languages I never studied.

Ryan ★★★★★

My toddler loves flipping through this and shouting the animal names in Spanish and Mandarin after me. The bright colors keep her engaged, and it's a fun way for us to learn the other languages together.
