The Rooster Says Kukariku!: Onomatopoeia for Animal Sounds from Languages and Cultures Around the World (KOSHER EDITION) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960282071)

What could be more fun for children than mimicking animal sounds? But there are only so many? Or are there?

Who knew that each culture has its own set of different onomatopoeia (words invented to mimic the sound of the thing they describe) for animal sounds? Each following the unique alphabet and distinct sounds and linguistic sensibilities of the native language. And in America, a rooster might say "cockadoodle-doo," but almost everywhere else -- most of the world agrees -- a rooster says "KUKARIKU!" Come along on a fun phonetic trek around the world to discover new and delightful, strange-sounding words for animal sounds that you once found familiar, but may not again. A hilarious time for young and old, to be read again and again and again. Some will sound very odd.

Sometimes most of the world agrees on what sound best describes each animal -- and sometimes, they're surprising and wonderful! Some will surprise and make much better sense, becoming instant favorites. That is why, as far as we're concerned, a rooster never says "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO," but only "KUKARIKU!"

Kosher home edition featuring only kosher animals.
