Description
Celebrated Nova Scotia folk artist's vibrant artwork helps teach babies animal sounds!
The newest book by early childhood literacy advocates Shanda LaRamee-Jones and Carol McDougall continues the tradition of Maud Lewis 1, 2, 3 and Maud Lewis Colours of introducing young readers to Nova Scotia folk art.
Children learn to speak by imitation, and animal sounds are a fun and educational way for babies to learn the sounds that will lead to babbling and talking. In Folk Art Animal Sounds, children will be captivated by the colourful carvings of Nova Scotian folk artist Barry Colpitts and enjoy making the sounds of each animal—from an oinking pig to a growling bear! A wonderful way to encourage early language development by having fun making animal sounds together.
About the authors
Barry Colpitts's colourful folk art is popular with collectors throughout North America. In 2014 the Acadia University Art Gallery had a solo exhibition of his work called Barry's World. Two of his pieces were recently donated to the Canadian Museum of History and one of his carvings was added to the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. He often shares his artwork at the Nova Scotia Folk Art Festival in Lunenburg. Barry lives in East Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia, in a house decorated with his whimsical art.
Shanda LaRamee-Jones and Carol McDougall bring together their backgrounds in education, literacy, children's publishing, and early reading promotion in the creation of a series of bestselling board books specifically developed for baby's first years.
