Arabic
Anā wa-qirdī by Emily Gravet
Enables children to guess what animal they are pretending to be, before revealing the real creatures. A mischievous little girl and her toy monkey swing irresistibly through the pages of this playful book. Young children will love guessing what animal they are pretending to be, before shouting out the answers as the pages are turned to reveal the real creatures. Soon everyone will be waddling like a penguin, jumping like a kangaroo, and hanging upside down like a bat!
