My Arabic Words Book

Summary: introducing Arabic to youngsters
Review: 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.
