La Mémé Et La Mouche

Une me- me- avale d' abord une mouche, ensuite un oiseau et enfin un cheval. Tous ces animaux se bousculent en elle pour lui donner un terrible mal d' estomac ! C' est sur cette histoire abracadabrante que s' ouvre cet album de chansons en hommage a` un auteur-compositeur montre- alais de renomme- e internationale. Cette se- lection rassemble 12 textes pe- tillants et dro^les comme les illustrations qui les accompagnent, et permet aux enfants d' apprendre les chiffres, les lettres, les mois de l' anne- e, les noms des instruments de musique et des pays. Un code QR imprimé dans le livre mè ne vers les principales plateformes de musique en continu. A fresh rendition of a classic children's tune followed by a buffet of silly sing-along songs. Get to know a quirky old lady who swallows a heap of animals-- from a dog, cat, bird and spider to that infamous little fly. The children's classic, for which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known, sets the table for more timeless folk tunes, written over 50 years ago. Tongue-in-cheek and smart at heart, this buffet of singalong alphabet, counting and rhyming songs in French is jaw-droppingly silly as it is devourable. The accompanying recordings can be accessed with a QR printed in the book.
