Book Review - Sounds All Around: A Guide to Onomatopoeias Around the World




About the Book

Did you know that in German, a pig doesn’t say oink, it says gruntz, and when you sneeze in Japanese it’s hakushon, not achoo? With vibrant comics and fun facts, Sounds All Around will teach you interesting and funny onomatopoeias from all over the world!

Words that imitate sounds are known as onomatopoeia, and they are a wonderfully strange and interesting part of language. After all, we all hear the same sounds, but we interpret and write them differently in different languages. Sounds All Around is a fun and funny illustrated guide to how people say many of these sounds all around the globe. Inside you’ll learn what a cat sounds like in French, what a yawn sounds like in Norwegian, what a bell sounds like in Hindi, and much, much more!

 

My Take on the Book
What a fun book! This book is filled with so many sounds that you would not know. The graphic novel not only has artwork that will put a smile on your face, but the book is completely filled with so many sounds that you would typically find in a comic here, but there are so many languages that you would not know. You will leave this book learning a ton, but also enjoying every moment of it.
