Overview
Celebrated Nova Scotia folk artist's vibrant artwork helps teach babies animal sounds! The newest book by early childhood literacy advocates Shanda LaRamee-Jones and Carol McDougall continues the tradition of Maud Lewis 1, 2, 3 and Maud Lewis Colours of introducing young readers to Nova Scotia folk art. Children learn to speak by imitation, and animal sounds are a fun and educational way for babies to learn the sounds that will lead to babbling and talking. In Folk Art Animal Sounds, children will be captivated by the colourful carvings of Nova Scotian folk artist Barry Colpitts and enjoy making the sounds of each animal--from an oinking pig to a growling bear! A wonderful way to encourage early language development by having fun making animal sounds together.

Reviews
Maud Lewis Colours Best Books for Kids and Teens Fall 2023 selection ""I know Maud Lewis Colours is a concept book for very young children but for when they're a little older and for those who share it with them, it is also a beautiful introduction to a Canadian artist--there is a double spread dedicated to ""one colourful artist"" with information about her--and an invitation to see colour in their own lives."" https: //canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2023/06/maud-lewis-colours.html Maud Lewis 1,2,3 (27,000 copies sold!) A Heather's Pick ""On its surface, this board book featuring her paintings is a joyful counting book for children. As adult readers learn more about Lewis's incredible story, the book becomes unforgettable. The paintings feature hallmarks of the rural Nova Scotia landscape she lived in, including hummingbirds, simple wooden homes, tulips, skaters, and the change of seasons. It's a rare treat to have such lauded folk art in a book accessible to the very young."" --The Reading Chair (National Association on the Education of Young Children, March 2019) ""With just one or two words per page and easy things to search for and count, this book can be shared with toddlers and preschoolers, and more than once."" --Resource Links
