A dog named "La Grande Fifi" strolls through the streets of Paris bumping into a wide assortment of friends, including her Bichon Frisé band who plays for her in a club called "Le Bow Wow!". You will delight in these 12 catchy songs written and performed by Connie Kaldor.

The title track, A Poodle in Paris, focuses on the performing career of Fifi the poodle. The song ultimately feels like a new story about an old friend. Many of the songs continue the animal motif, whether singing about children pretending to be animals in Betty Is Convinced That She's a Buffalo, a lovesick cow (Thelma the Cow) singing the blues, or trying to figure out what gift to give an animal in The Zoo Was Having a Party; "What do you get for an elephant/ Something really swellephant/ Something he can smellephant." The silly and funny lyrics also help engage your child's imagination. She's My Sister, He's My Brother describes how a child would rescue their brother or sister from anything - a school bully, Darth Vader, or a lion. What would your little one do for their sister or brother? Oops Oops Bang Bang catches listeners' attention with a frequently changing tempo and multiple noise effects, but it is also about something kids can relate to - accidentally knocking things over. A child's voice is heard giggling and saying "uh oh!" throughout the verses.

Many of the songs are easy to join in with and are interactive. The Littlest Duck is a jazzy song about how all the littlest animals like to move around the farm. Your child can imitate the motions and waddle with the duck, hop with the chick, sing with the lark, or dawdle with the turtle. I Love That Dog is a silly song, from the perspective of a dog, with many howls and barks in the background that your little one can have a blast imitating the sounds. After listening to Betty Is Convinced That She's a Buffalo, you can encourage your child to decide which animal they would like to pretend to be. They can sway around the living room like an elephant, crawl slowly like a turtle, or act silly like a monkey. Imagine how much fun they would have if you joined in too!

My two-year-old friend, Kyle, and I listened to this CD together and he loved the beat in the song Winners. Kyle was marching in place, swinging his arms wildly to the music. He also liked it when I would dance around to the fast chorus of Monkeys in the Trees in India while making my best monkey face. He still tries to imitate it whenever a monkey is mentioned or seen in a book.
