A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

For more than twenty years Fred Penner has been entertaining children and adults alike through a variety of media. A native of Manitoba, Canada, Penner has worn many hats ? from folk-rock singer, television host and home video star to children's book author, UNICEF Canada spokesman, husband and father of four! Penner's deep respect for children has been a driving force behind his work and inspires his energetic live performances. With record sales topping the one million mark, and eleven albums and home videos to his credit, it is no wonder that an entire generation of children know many of his lyrics by heart. In fact, Penner's 'The Cat Came Back' and 'You Can Do It (If You Try)' are such favourites with children that they have become classics, taught and performed in music classes all over the world. Lucky for us, Penner shows no signs of slowing down. He is continuously working to create new songs, hoping to share his music with many generations of children to come. Sophie Fatus is a full-time illustrator and sculptress whose bright and distinctive illustrations have brought her numerous commissions and international critical acclaim. 'I take much inspiration from animals that I love, and I want to give homage to their very strong dignity through my work. I'd like my work to be a peaceful message of solidarity and support, that could help children remember to love and respect each other.' Sophie was born and educated in France and now lives in Florence, Italy.

Revue de presse :

'This multicultural treat will encourage creative movement as well as creativity in inventing other verses for preschoolers.' --School Library Journal

'Complete with a singalong CD this delightful version of the traditional rhyme takes the reader to four different countries watching children get ready for school.' --Carousel

'In this cheerful picture book with an accompanying CD, four children in different cultures act out the revised words to a traditional song, Here We Go round the Mulberry Bush ... Brimming with activity and color, the stylized acrylic paintings make each setting look different and inviting ... Slipped into a plastic pocket on the endpapers, the CD features Canadian musician Fred Penner singing the new words. Appended notes introduce the old song and the accompanying movements. An upbeat way to introduce the notion that people around the world are different yet have much in common.' --Booklist
