This is a book for a young learner of Arabic. The book is written and bound so that it is read in reverse order, just like authentic Arabic publications. Each page is devoted to a different letter of the (Arabic) alphabet. The text contains the Arabic name for each image, written in Arabic script, in addition to the English translation and a phonetic guide to pronunciation. The book is well presented with beautiful watercolour illustrations.It would appear that it is intended for an English-speaking child who is learning Arabic. While it would seem to have most relevance in a setting where a child is being taught Arabic, it also serves as a brief introduction to the sounds and script of this language to any child with an interest in exploring different cultures.

Really enjoyed the book, my daughter loves it and although she is still under a year she points to the pictures as I say what each one is. I especially like the english spelling of how to pronounce the words in arabic. My mother, who speaks no arabic can even read her the book in her texan accented arabic...very funny, and enjoyable for all!
