Overview
Des chansons d’animaux qui feront chanter et danser les tout-petits. Tout petit dans son étang, un canard à un grand rêve : celui de faire carrière à Broadway. On se moque de lui, mais rien ne peut l’arrêter. Il sait qu’il réussira! Des illustrations enlevantes rythment le road trip de la future vedette, qui rencontre en chemin des personnages extravagants comme Betty, la super camionneuse. Cette folle escapade est accompagnée de chansons toutes plus rigolotes les unes que les autres, dans lesquelles se croisent des limaces qui interprètent des airs d’opéra et des alligators qui dansent le tango. Irrésistible! Le disque comprend 12 chansons A little duck from the Prairies has a big dream—making it to New York City and doing his ducky dance on Broadway. It’s an adventurous journey that appears bound for failure until he meets up with a truck driver named Big Betty who gives him that little nudge he needs to tackle the Big Apple. The 12 songs in the accompanying CD include the story's theme song and “Limace–Opéra” (Slug Opera), “Au bal des alligators” (Alligator Ball), and “Couac, couac, couac” (Quack, Quack, Quack).
