| Cow, mouse, frog, hedgehog and rooster puppets engage their audience from start to finish. The French love their food, and children will, too, in learning about France’s most-craved delights. Witness a goat being milked and the process of making goat cheese. Don’t be surprised if your child asks, “Cheese comes from animals?” See children in French berets toting baguettes on their bicycles, and others devouring croissants. There is so much to learn: Red and green grapes, when squished, make the best grape juice in the world! Stinky cheese is great! Puppets will cleverly demonstrate how eggs come from chickens. And a cow puppet will design a dress. Children walk the fashion runway in high French style (clothing courtesy of Jacadi). And young French chefs will allow a peek into their Vilac kitchen. Parents will be entertained when their children dance and clap to Offenbach’s “Can-Can” masterpiece in the grand, final scene of the DVD. This DVD features classical masterpieces by some of the most influential French composers of the 17th – 20th centuries, including Bizet, Couperin and Fauré. With 55+ words spoken and written, children will build their vocabulary in either English or French or both. For ages 6 months and up. |
