Nursery rhyme (comptine in french) are playing an important role in today's children education. Maybe it'll bother some of you because they're in french, but here are the ones that I used to sing when I was still a little kid, both in their original and translated versions.

Ah les crocrocro

Ah! vous dirai-je maman

Ainsi font, font, font

Alouette

Am stram gram

Au clair de la lune

A la claire fontaine

C

Cadet Rousselle

F

Fais Do Do (creole)

Fais dodo Colas mon p'tit frère

Frère Jacques

I

Il était un petit navire

J

J'ai perdu le dos de ma clarinette

Je vais a l'etable

L

La mère Michel

Le bon roi Dagobert

Lundi matin

M

Maman les p'tits bateaux

Meunier tu dors

P

Promenons nous dans les bois

S

Une poule sur un mur

Une souris verte

V

This book is an anthology of one hundred 'comptines' organized by themes, musical notations are included. It also comes with an Audio CD of all the songs so children can sing along.
