Every letter has its song ! And thanks to Christiane Duchesne and Paul Kunigis’ unrestrained imagination, you actually get introduced to a pigeon with four legs, a ghost who delivers delicious cakes on a bicycle and a turtle who feels a tad bare under her shell… It’s a musical odyssey, featuring musicians who play instruments like the xylophone, the glockenspiel, and the pedal steel guitar.
