Les douze jours de Noël

Songs Carmen Campagne Illustrations Marie Lafrance

A wonderful and timeless collection of Christmas songs performed by Carmen Campagne. The album offers a wide array of seasonal songs, from the gospel-tinged Le dernier mois de l’année and the well-known children’s favourite Petit papa Noël to North-American classics like L’enfant au tambour (Little Drummer Boy), Vive le vent (Jingle Bells) and Le renne au nez rouge (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer).  Marie Lafrance’s joyous illustrations of the counting song Les douze jours de Noël  round out this wish for good tidings.
