The lion grunts. But what about the camel, the hippopotamus, and even the hyena, what sound do they make? The animals of Africa are presented in the book ‚Animal sounds: African animals‘ through an entertaining story, which invites readers of all ages to interpret the text in a playful and gestural way and, why not, through their own sounds. The story also reveals that animals make sounds in different ways and for different reasons: some scream, others cry, moan, and even whisper. If the reader remembers himself, it’s always good to know that we are animals as well…
