From airplane/avión/avion to zigzag/zigzag/zigzag, Marthe Jocelyn
and Tom Slaughter have created a unique ABC for the very
young. The book works perfectly in three languages, English,
Spanish, and French (English, Español, and Français). In each
case, deceptively simple paper cuts will delight the eye while
young readers explore words in three languages.
The book has been carefully constructed to accommodate
each language, including the letters which occur in Spanish, but
not in English or French. Earlier collaborations by Tom
Slaughter and Marthe Jocelyn have received raves from critics.
This new addition to their library is yet another excellent
introduction to modern art, to words, and this time to the fun
of languages.
