Description -
The chansons in this book, which take the place of nursery rhymes in France, have been beloved by generations of French children, for most of them are at least a hundred years old.
 
A charming collection of children's poems and songs from France written in English. 187 page hard cover book with wonderful color illustrations on every page.  May the rhythm of these poems find an echo in the hearts of the children of America!  The picture on the cover of this book was suggested by the portrait of the little Prince and Princess, Charles Philippe and Marie Clotilde of France.
