Story and songs Bïa Illustrations Caroline Hamel Singer Bïa
« Je lis – Je chante » Collection
For his birthday, a small boy receives a very special gift: a skunk! He chooses to name her Josephine and together they become best friends. The duo takes great pride in putting on pyjama parties with a cast of zany characters including a sleep-walking dog, a grizzly bear policeman, and a rabbit who is deeply in love with a fox. Bring down the lights and turn on the disco ball, it’s time to dance!
The narrated story is followed by recordings of the songs « Joséphine la Coquine » and « Pyjama Party ».
