International storytime

You would think that singing songs with animal noises in storytime would be easy, right? Not so much in a bilingual environment, in which a French cow goes "meuh" (a subtle difference) and a Frenc duck goes "coin".

Thank heavens there is now a table of animal sounds to back me up.

Now, all together, "Old Macdonald had a farm...."

Felts made by me!
