What\u2019s It About?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Animals at the Zoo<\/em> isn\u2019t your typical picture book. There are no written sentences, no text-filled pages. Instead, there are illustrations, characters and sounds<\/em>. A child moves a digital pen over the images \u2013 and the book starts talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 1,400 audio snippets. Every character has something to say. Some sing. Some get grumpy. Some rhyme. And all of that had to be translated. In a way that sounds natural in Croatian \u2013 cheerful, playful, funny and, of course, clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
