This book is a suitable beginning for the youngest children to learn the Arabic letters and animal names. Its beautiful drawings contain what little ones love: amusing, delightful scenes where each one tells a story that can unleash a child's imagination to tell their own story. It is written for pronunciation and understanding in Modern Standard Arabic (if read voweled) or colloquial Arabic (if read without vowels). It's up to you, so don't worry about the language and enjoy the reading and illustrations with your children
