Songs by Joseph Beaulieu Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch Performed by Jeanne Cherhal, Luc De Larochellière, Enzo Enzo, Jorane, Arnaud “Nano” Methivier, Yann Perreau, Marie-Jo Thério and Mara Tremblay

An exceptional selection of songs written for children more than 60 years ago. For folklorist and composer Joseph Beaulieu, every opportunity was a good one to have fun at the turn of a rhyme!  These 12 lively animal-themed songs are divided into three themes: morning, afternoon, and evening. Each appears with lyrics and colorful illustrations in the book and is performed by young dynamic singers representing the contemporary French-language music scene in Canada and France on the accompanying CD. Children can wake up to the sound of a singing lark in “L’alouette du matin” (The Morning Lark), shake it up in the afternoon with a raucous team of circus animals in “Le cirque” (The Circus), and wind down at the end of the day listening to a choir of mellow frogs in “Le concert des grenouilles” (The Frog Concert).

Tender, fun and even the big ones take their foot. THE MONTREAL JOURNAL
