Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Deliciously fun for kids and grownups Comment: This is a great collection of original, contemporary songs in French from many parts of the world. I think it's the best Putumayo CD ever. People seem to enjoy it no matter their level of French! The music & lyrics are alive, relevant, full of interesting images, textures, voices. The songs have a way of introducing people, points of view, places, sort of like you're going around the world meeting interesting people everywhere you go, hearing their stories. Kids under the "age of reason" will just like listening and probably want to know the gist of each song. Meanwhile the parents will enjoy the miracle of music that appeals to them as much as to their kids. There's something for every age and if understanding the lyrics makes older kids think a little, then FANTASTIC. If you are looking for wonderful REAL French music with world flavor, this is it. If you are looking for plastic tunes that feed your kids a sanitized list of vocabulary, nope, this is not it. There is nothing I find offensive in here, but there is funny, real, tongue-in-cheek stuff, descriptive of our world and of real people. Customer Rating: Summary: highly entertaining Comment: Our entire family is pleased with this delightful CD. We purchased it for our one year old granddaughter who dances and smiles every time she hears the music. The added bonus has been that this music lifts the spirits of the adults in the household as well. Magical! Customer Rating: Summary: Colorful and fun--not your typical wishy washy nursery rhymes Comment: I think this CD is fabulous. I use it practice my French and I hope that my daughter and I will be able to sing along together in French some day (she is 6 months old), and use it as a conversation starter as we learn about other cultures and people, and compare them to ours (which is American and Polish). Customer Rating: Summary: catchy bouncy cheerful fun music to drive to Comment: Upbeat and sophisticated. You can't suffer from road-rage listening to this 'cos you're too busy feeling happy. French language sounds so... sexy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great children's collection! Comment: I LOVE the songs on this CD! My daughter is growing up trilingual, and I bought this because it's important for me that she have French-language books and CDs. But even non-French speakers will love the upbeat, catchy songs on this CD. Truly a collection I've heard nowhere else. More Reviews
