Summary

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.

Singer-songwriter Daniel Lavoie takes great pleasure in revisiting his childhood fantasies, as he offers up a healthy serving of good old-fashioned fun and play in this musical storybook. The book follows a little boy who’s out to have fun, whether it’s with his pet baby dragon or as a musketeer risking his life for king and country. Ten French-language songs accompany the adventures, and the disk also includes a PDF of the entire book.
