Chitchat : celebrating the world's languages / written by Jude Isabella ; illustrated by Kathy Boake.
How did language come to be? Why can we speak, while cats and dogs can't? When, how, and where did our 7,000 world languages come from? Isabella looks at languages-- spoken, written and signed-- to find out where they came from and how they're changing.
