Songs by Alan Mills Illustrated by PisHier Performed by Thomas Hellman and Émilie Clepper
The title track “La mémé et la mouche” (a translation of “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”, for which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known), introduces us to a quirky old lady who swallows a heap of animals, from a dog, cat, bird, spider and that infamous little fly, only to meet an untimely demise. This classic tale is followed by a potpourri of simple, singable songs often focusing on numbers and letters, with a contagious and danceable rhythm. The brightly coloured illustrations of silly characters are a treat to behold.
Toddlers of pre-school and early elementary school will find an array of nursery rhymes and songs fun and useful. LE DEVOIR
