Enfants bilingues: "Conseils aux parents pour l'education des enfants bilingues"

From Ardith (2/2002):
I recommend Henriette Major: (book + CD) 100 Comptines (these are short and include some traditional songs and rhymes) & Chansons droles, chansons folles (longer songs, includes traditional ones) The best thing about them is that the French can be heard very clearly. Look at: http://www.infrench.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=C&Category_Code=CCA011.

From Carrie Johnston (2/2002):
When I read this e-mail there just happened to be a CD blasting from the other room. The only thing is, I'm not sure this CD is actually available for purchase since it was included in a TopFaMille magazine last summer. It's called Mes plus belles chansons d'ete. It has mostly songs about boats and fish, and a really great swing/jazz version of Sur le pont d'Avignon. Most of it is sung by children and is really not annoying to listen to. It says "Chansons extraites du catalogue Enfance et Musique (01-48-10-30-50)" Here is the link to their website, it looks like you could order a catalogue http://www.eveiletjeux.com/dossiermois/dossier.asp?dossier=d_musique_ete#selection

From Alexander Demidov (2/2002):
I can recommend "Mega P'tits Loups" 4 CD at only EUR 21,4 available from amazon.fr. I got it last summer and it's excellent value for money. It's got all the traditional songs too. I like it a lot. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004UM0P/402-7071784-3707317 I also got another CD collection of French children's songs along the lines you refer to, i.e., with a lot of titles about summer--in a 3-CD box edition, "Le Top des enfants - Sp??cial ??t??"--it is also a very good collection, and I haven't noticed any titles overlapping with the above-mentioned one. I got it for only 12 EUR. Here is the link, but I see that it is no longer available http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JDJ6/402-7071784-3707317 They may have it again soon, though, so it's worth keeping your eye on this spot (that's how I got "Mega P'tits Loups," which wasn't available when I found it first) or hunting for it elsewhere.

From Nathalie Riksten-Tramblin: Lately he has asked a lot of questions about how babies are made. I've a really great book about that written by Peter Mayle/Arthur Robins/Paul Walter, called "Et moi, d'o=F9 je viens?" isbn 2-267-01159-X. It's translated from English so that the English among us should be able to find it too).
