Sonnez les matines

It will be sung in Play School each day this week as Michel Faure is French. His three stories are about an English boy and a French boy who don't understand each other's language but discover that they can still play together.
Tuesday's story is 'Idlouk the Eskimo' and Thursday's picturebook is 'Orchestra of the Sea' by Yuzo Ocsuka, illustrated by Toshiko Maruki, translated by Michael Bond.
