As Flo Weiss traveled and taught around the world, she was always fascinated by how different the sounds were the animals made in other countries. Pictures that Flo took in her travels were used as the backdrop for each illustration. Artist LeAnn Alstadt lovingly crafted the illustrations that provide a snapshot of the country featured, including a boy and girl in their native dress. "What Animals Say around the World" offers a charming way to teach young children about the world around them. It also provides a simple yet effective first language lesson that is reinforced by charming illustrations. Children will want to come back to "What Animals Say around the World" over and over again to visit the animals and their friends.
