I bought this book thinking it also had the cassette with it. It does not. Customer reviews which write about the cassette are followed with a note from Amazon that it is a review for the "Hard Cover" edition.

If you notice right below the reading level for this item, it says "Hard Cover". So I thought that this was the edition that includes the cassette. It does not.

The book seems great otherwise, but you MUST know French and be able to read music though. It is difficult to know what tune you should be singing in if you can't read musical notes.

I liked these simple songs. The cassette was well done- nice singing - though the background music is a synthasizer- not real instraments. The words, pronunciation and pictures are clever and interesting for a child.

My one year old LOVES this audio tape. The lyrics are sung by children in French, the book provides pictures and text which refer to the songs and build vocabulary. The lyrics are in French and English- I hope that I can find more books with audio tapes like this.

My 3 1/2 yr old daughter sings the songs while dancing with my 2 yr old as soon as I turn it on! It's a very pleasant listening and learning experience.

My four-year-old daughter has insisted on this tape every time we get into the car for the last month. The reason? These short songs are an intelligent mix of catchy tunes that are sufficienty easy for her to sing yet diverse enough to hold even my interest (so far). The accompanying book not only has lyrics and translations, but more important for her, has pages of pictures (with French/English/transliteration) that illustrate the objects and actions in each song. The singing, by children, is well done with enough spontaneity so that she wants to sing along (OK me too sometimes) and clear enough to be useful. I should mention however that my six-year-old is less enthralled with this tape than her younger sister or her father.

I Can Sing en Francais is fun and educational. The songs are a fun way to learn a new language because they have a nice melody and they deal with the basic words in French that beginners should know. Savez-Vous Planter Les Choux is my favorite song on the tape. The song lyrics in French and English are included in the book.

My children love this book and cassette and we keep humming the tunes around the house. The children who sing the songs are very clear and the music is well done. I just wish there were more books in this series, I would've bought them all.

My 4 year old niece who doesn't know a word of French learnt to sing a long after a few days. My 3 year old son loves to listen to the songs, and reading the book while listening to the music. The book is pleasing for children will lots of illustrations. We also use the book to talk about what's on the pages and can spend a long time just reading it! This is a great gift idea.

My 9.5 month old son lights up the minute I press play. We dance and bounce to these adorable songs while I am learning the words. I am very amused that he enjoys this cassette more than the ones I have with children's songs in english.
