Animal Talk: Mexican Folk Art Animal Sounds in English and Spanish

Animal Talk compares the sounds familiar animals make in English and Spanish, showing that the same animal may be represented differently in each language. A rooster, for example, has one written call in English and another in Spanish. The bilingual text invites readers to identify animals and act out their sounds. Photographs feature brightly colored wood carvings by Mexican artisans Rubí Fuentes and Efraín Broa from Oaxaca, connecting the animal-sound pages with Mexican folk art.
