Animals in this book are fun. I've never seen a weasel in a board box. I really liked that.. In English, French and Cree. -KL ( )

Cree artist Neepin Auger, a member of the Bigstone Cree Nation of Alberta, Canada, presents this third trilingual board book, following upon her Discovering Words and Discovering Numbers. Here, twenty-two animals are depicted, with their names in English, French and Cree. The artwork is bright and vibrantly colorful, the animals all species one would expect to see in northern Canada. A pronunciation guide is provided for the French and Cree words, in a table at the rear.

I did wonder, with a few of the animals in Discovering Animals - insect, whale - why the general term was used, rather than the specific one - ladybug, orca - referring to the creature depicted in the artwork. Leaving that aside, this was a lovely little book, a perfect companion to the other two titles from Auger, which I now own, thanks to a generous gift from my friend Gundula. Many thanks to her, for introducing me to these titles - I will have to get my act together and review the other two. Recommended to anyone who has enjoyed the earlier Auger titles, to anyone looking for Native-content baby books, and to those searching for multilingual word books. ( )
