Publisher's Synopsis
In this New York Times Best Book of the Year, internationally renowned artist Antonio Frasconi presents beautiful and brightly colored woodcuts depicting a variety of everyday items - a boat, Christmas tree, dog, train, birthday cake, and many other objects. The word for each image is given in English (printed in black), Italian (blue), French (red), and Spanish (green), and accompanied by pronunciation guides. There is also a page of common expressions. For the very young, this is a delightful picture book; for children a little older, it offers illustrated language lessons.
