Baby's First Steps in French
reschool--Intended for babies up to age two, the CD contains soothing lullabies, songs, rhymes, and words and phrases in French. The accompanying book explains to parents how babies develop languages in their first two years. A lyric sheet with English translations is included as well. This recording offers the opportunity to expose babies to the sounds and words of the French language and take advantage of their natural linguistic abilities. Songs include classics such as "Frere Jacques," "Sur le pont," "Savez-vous planter les choux?," and "Au clair de la lune." Although intended as an introduction to French for very young children, the songs, rhymes, and vocabulary could be used to introduce the sounds of the French language to older preschool and kindergarten children as well.Denise A.
