Wild Animal Sounds

Picture
Virginia Wright, the author of wonderful Children’s books, such as Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do, The Prince and the Dragon: A Fairy Tale, and The Christmas Secret has done it again with her magnificent interactive book, titled: Wild Animal Sounds. Available on Amazon for Pre-Order. Release November 27th.

Wild Animal Sounds is an interactive picture book, cleverly designed with simple text and a phrased paragraph pattern to help teach children sounds. Not only is this a great learning experience for your pre-schooler, it also provides an ideal opportunity for parents and caregivers to bond with their child in a fun yet educational way. Relive your childhood by taking an imaginary tour of the jungle! Rawr, Gr-aaaaa-ah, G-r-r-r-r-r, like a bear, MMM-ow and Psshhh, like the tallest of giraffes before hunkering down and howling like a coyote: Rup-rup-rup-aroo.

While introducing your child to some of the most popular animals in the wild and the funny sounds they make, Wild Animal Sounds will help them develop a sound, word, and picture association.

Wild Animal Sounds is a perfect fit for children who are just learning to talk.

My connection with the author:
Steampunk Alice

Picture
I had asked Virginia if she was interested in doing some illustrations for a Steampunk novella I was working on. She happily agreed and not only illustrated the front cover entirely, her illustrations adorn many of the pages of the book. They made my little story come alive. Working hand and hand with Virginia was a blessing. She is a perfectionist and would sometimes keep me waiting for days, until she had an image, perfect to her liking. This is the reason I cherish Steampunk Alice.

I hope Virginia Wright doesn’t mind me telling you this. Because of the fact that both of us lost sisters too early in life, we have adopted each other as official, yet virtual siblings. This is why we support each other the way we do. That’s what siblings are for.
