Le Petit Chien de Laine

Gaie et rythmée, la musique invite à chanter, danser et s'amuser. La première chanson, Le petit chien de laine, raconte l'histoire tragique d'une petite bête à queue de coton enfermée par ses parents dans le placard de la salle de bain et dévorée par les mites. Heureusement que sa maman est là pour lui redonner vie ! Le texte de douze autres chansons, habilement rimées, faciles à interpréter, sont à découvrir. Le disque comprend 13 chansons In the title song and story of this musical collection, a stuffed, woolen puppy falls victim to famished mites after having been left at home alone while his parents go to see an exhibit of humans at a local park. Upon their return, they discover his red, soggy, cotton tail on the floor and are faced with the challenge of putting him back together. Lionel Daunais's lighthearted rendition of this song was a popular radio favorite in French-speaking Canada in the 1950s. The additional 12 songs in this storybook-music CD are off-the-wall fun for the whole family, full of clever word play and many strange creatures, including a bird who is part kangaroo and part rooster, a tortoise named Sue who goes around town without a shell, and a hard-headed hammer who has gone bonkers.
