Listen, Listen in Bengalli & English (PB)

Honk, honk, geese call. Swish, swish, leaves fall. Whoosh, whoosh, hats fly. Whoo, whoo, owls cry. Learn about the seasons and discover the sights and sounds of nature - from sizzling summer sun to crisp winter snow. Alison Jay's irresistible illustrations masterfully capture each season in turn. . In a spiritual and aesthetic companion to Jay s beautiful Picture This (2004), the artist s work pairs with Gershator s simple, evocative rhyming imagery to conduct viewers on a walk around a small town as seasons change. Jay s stylized pictures, with the texture of ancient frescos, are a window into a world in which the buzz of an insect and the whoosh of the wind lend surprising emotion. Illustrations filled with snowmen, anthropomorphized animals, and people running through a leaf-swept field will make children long to discover what is just over a hill or around the next bend. Capturing a summer idyll reading in a hammock with the same care as a warm evening by the fireplace, Jay invests each image with both joy and melancholy. This jewel of a book will draw children back again and again. Paperback, 32 pages, ages 2 to 8.
