La mémé et la mouche

by Alan Mills, Bïa Krieger (Translator), PisHier (PisHier) (Illustrator)

Overview

Une mémé 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 à un auteur-compositeur montréalais de renommée internationale. Cette sélection rassemble 12 textes pétillants et drôles comme les illustrations qui les accompagnent, et permet aux enfants d'apprendre les chiffres, les lettres, les mois de l'année, les noms des instruments de musique et des pays.

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.
