Not what you expected?
I notice that this product got mixed reviews.Our family enjoyed it for what it is - but it's not exactly what we expected either.The songs are real French songs which children sing - many are playground rhymes similar to "eeny-meeny-miny-mo" and don't necessarily form the best introduction to French for your child. But it does what it says on the tin and it WILL (after repeated listening) improve your french if not your child's.For something more didactic try "Le Club Francais - KS2-French-Part 1" which has songs such as "Bonjour! Salut! Ca va!" and some traditional rhymes.I almost forgot: The book is nicely illustrated and separated into logical sections. The CD is clearly spoken and the first track gives a sort of explanation of the content.

Just what I was looking for!
A gift for my granddaughter. As a native French speaker and a teacher of French, I was looking for an entertaining book with a cd so that she and her parents could listen to the songs and repeat correctly. The book itself has lots of extra words in context and the cd covers many favorite French nursery rhymes. Excellent and good value for money.

It helps!
I live in France and speak English at home. It certainly helped my two young children to access French. It is true that not all the rhymes are common ones, but what joy they have when one of the rhymes does crop up at school and they already know it. Having a book with pictures to illustrate the vocab is very helpful to their comprehension. If you just have it on as background music you'll be surprised how much they pick up. I've learnt from it too. It's all about exposure.

No English translations
Says it has French and English lyrics but they are not next to each other, the book is all French and then a few pages at the back have English translations. Still a good book just not as described.

Wonderful!!
Wonderful!! Nice music, voices and pronunciation. They repeat the songs twice. Book is clear, pretty images and includes additional ideas at the end. My baby loves it. I wish I could get more books like this one.

Beautiful book.
I purchased this book for my daughter because her husband is French. This will be very helpful for her to be able to read French words to him. Beautiful book.

French Rhyme Book
I thought this would have basic familiar rhymes in french that my young daughter would recognise but it wasn't and so was far too advanced - needs better description or age guide - the picture looked young !
