Overview
Un abécédaire en chansons qui fera sourire les petits loups.
Dans cet abécédaire illustré avec fantaisie, toutes les lettres de l’alphabet ont leur chanson. Les petites oreilles peuvent se familiariser avec elles grâce à des pièces musicales toutes plus comiques et poétiques les unes que les autres. On y croise un éléphant, des hirondelles, un koala, un wapiti, et même un fantôme qui se promène à vélo! Les mélodies sont tendres, joyeuses et légères comme des nuages. Zut, c’est déjà fini? On recommence!
Le disque comprend 24 chansons.
Learning the alphabet is bound to be fun with these 24 simply worded songs that take children on a wild musical odyssey through the letters A to Z. Zany, hilarious characters—from a friendly ghost who delivers fruit-filled flans on a bicycle and a twisted turtle who feels a tad bare under her shell to Jon le pigeon (John the Pigeon), a four-legged bird who loves to tap to the beat—come to life through expressive watercolor illustrations that highlight each catchy lyric. The accompanying CD features a fusion of rock, pop, world, and folk music performed exquisitely by seasoned singers and talented musicians who incorporate a wide array of instruments, among them the xylophone, the glockenspiel, and the pedal steel guitar, into the tunes. Children are sure to clap their hands and join in on the theme song, "Sing It Again," at the end.
