Classic sing-alongs for children
This vibrant, engaging assortment offers children an entertaining
introduction to the French language. From stories of friendship, family,
discovery, and self-esteem to silly, snappy songs of one-of-a-kind
barnyard animals, lullabies, and segments of classical music, children
tune in to a variety of musical styles and multicultural experiences.
The accompanying CDs provide children an opportunity to hear the
pronunciation of the words and sing along as they learn the language.
The children's classic "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," for
which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known, precedes a potpourri
of simple singable songs, often focusing on numbers and letters and
featuring hysterically funny animal characters. Singers Thomas Hellman
and Emilie Clepper breathe new life into old traditions, performing
rootsy renditions of catchy songs written for children more than 50
years ago.
