Description


Cats are talking all the time. Can your child hear them? How to Speak with a Kitty: Comment Parler avec un Minou is a bilingual English and French picture book that teaches children to notice what cats are saying through their expressions. Told in gentle rhymes with a dash of French, it's a playful way to learn about the language of cats, and a little French too. Every kitty in this book is a hand-drawn portrait of a real cat, most of them friends' cats, and each one has its own personality and its own special message. By the last page, your child might just have a favorite. Perfect for ages 2 to 10, bilingual and French-learning families, French immersion classrooms and story times, cat-loving kids, and anyone who wants to teach gentle, respectful ways to understand animals. The companion to How to Pet a Kitty: Comment Câliner un Chat, and part of the Love Kitty Books series. A portion of all proceeds supports EveryCat Health Foundation, the world's largest source of nonprofit funding for feline research grants.
