Singing while coloring

Where “La famille Tortue” comes from, and how it is sung.

Nobody has ever seen the Tortoise family chase after rats: Papa, Mama and the little tortoises will always go at a walking pace. Sing it while walking very, very slowly around the table; for little ones, the hard part is not speeding up. It suits patient coloring pages, filled in with small strokes.

These drawings, sorted another way

A song crosses the shelves of the site: here are the ones its sheets are filed under.
