Dear all,
I'm preparing a picture book for children: ANIMALS' INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY. I'd like to ask you to help to translate 14 short sentences in your language (or more, if you speak them good):

1. A HORSE NEIGHS: NEIGH – NEIGH
2. A DONKEY BRAYS: HEE-HAW
3. A SHEEP BLEATS: BAA- BAA
4. A DUCK QUACKS: QUACK-QUACK
5. A COW MOOS: MOO
6. A BEE BUZZES: BUZZ - BUZZ
7. A BIRD CHIRPS: CHIRP-CHIRP
8. A DOG BARKS: WOOF-WOOF
9. A COCK CROWS: COOK-A-DOODLE-DOO
10. A HEN CLUCKS: CLUCK-CLUCK
11. A CAT MIAOWS: MIAOW
12. A PIG GRUNTS: OINK-OINK
13. AN ELEPHANT TOOTS: TOO – TOO
14. A FROG CROAKS: REBBIT – REBBIT

I’d be very glad if you’ll help me in this project to make children interested for different languages and cultures. I’d write your name into a book and send you one when it’s finished (Ican give one book for one language, so write me first, in which language are you prepared to translate). Nice r Lila
