My bilingual book and CD
Now available for purchase on the shop page
This 28 page book, with CD, is based on popular English nursery rhymes (on the left hand pages), which have been translated into French (on the right hand pages). The melody and the meaning of the English versions have been kept whilst still having them rhyme.A description of actions that go with the rhymes can sometimes be found at the bottom of the page.
Here is a link to read some reviews and testimonials.
Ce livre de 28pages avec compact disque est basé sur des comptines populaires anglaises (pages gauche) traduites en français (pages droite), tout en gardant la mélodie, le sens ainsi que les rimes de chaque comptine.
Une description des gestes qui accompagnent les comptines, se trouve parfois en bas de la page.

Then added a few more I have come across since.As I found it difficult to get my hand on good quality translations, I have added links here mostly for easy access.

Bear at work - L'ours au travail: discovering bear the postman and the places he visits. https://amzn.to/2zlQuT8
Bear's busy family - La famille active de l'ours: find out about family members and the things they do. https://amzn.to/2xNJONv
Bear about town - L'ours dans la ville: Learn the days of the week and places around town https://amzn.to/3eKXrO5
Bear in the sunshine - L'ours au soleil: the weather and pastimes https://amzn.to/3azKkfk

However, I would not recommend the 'bear takes a trip' as there are a few errors in this one due to a change of translator.
