What is Arabic Letters Naughty & Nice Book 3 about?
Arabic Letters Naughty & Nice Book 3 is an interactive alphabet book for children aged 4 to 6 that introduces the next seven letters of the Arabic alphabet, from Taa to Kaaf, as lively characters.
The seven letters are Taa (a heavier letter than the Taa of Book 1), Dhaa, Ayn, Ghayn, Faa, Qaaf and Kaaf, each drawn as it is written. The book is honest about them: they are not the easiest ones. Children should be ready for smashed windows, a lost tooth and some super-hot red chilli. Baby Ghayn's loud burps might put them off at first, but her charming looks will win them over in the end. Qaaf can be a little bit strict, so it is wise to say Qaaf's name correctly before finishing the book. And everyone should stay away from Dhaa's piranha fish.
The letters come to life through story, animation and narration with authentic Arabic pronunciation. A tap of a small finger makes a letter wobble, jump, snore or roar, so children hear its sound as they play. Nine letters of the Arabic alphabet have no matching sound in English, and the series shows those letters in red, so children know which sounds to listen to most carefully. Because these letters are not the easiest, hearing them said properly and copying the narrator out loud is the best practice.
The animated Part 3 tells the same letters as a short video. Book 2 comes before it, and Book 4 finishes the alphabet from Lam to Yaa. It is a Miraj original.
