Little Pim French Bop is a French audio CD with a selection of new and classic French songs for kids.

French Songs

Little Pim French Bop includes 15 songs: three very cute original songs performed in both French and English, plus 9 French classics:
  1. Au clair de la lune
  2. Fais dodo, Colas mon p'tit frère
  3. Frère Jacques
  4. Il était un petit navire
  5. Les petites marionnettes
  6. Savez-vous planter les choux ?
  7. Sur le pont d'Avignon
  8. Tapent, tapent petites mains
  9. Un petit pouce qui danse
There's a mix of vocals - some of the songs are sung by children (which I prefer, personally) and others by adults.

The CD comes with a booklet with the lyrics and their translations, and my only complaint is that there are some omissions/errors in the French lyrics. For example, the children performing "Sur le pont d'Avignon" clearly sing "L'on y danse," but the lyrics say "On y danse." I don't know if this is an oversight or a deliberate omission to avoid confusion (why l'on?), but I believe that in a learning tool like this, it's vital that lyrics report exactly what the song says.

Love French Bop, Member Tali_Mom

I love the French Bop CD from Little Pim. My daughters are 3.5 and almost 6 months. We are teaching them French. My 3 year-old loves the DVDs (especially Eating & Drinking). Elle aime le panda!
