    • Stories for Kids

Come sing with us! Our friend Lori leads a delightful song in both English and French. C'est tellement amusant!

There's a rat in the barn,
I hear the cat meowing,
There's a rat in the barn,
I hear the cat meow,
I hear, I hear, I hear the cat meowing,
I hear, I hear, I hear the cat meow.

Y'a un rat dans le grenier,
J'entends le chat qui miaule,
Y'a un rat dans le grenier,
J'entends le chat miauler.
J'entends, j'entends, j'entends le chat qui miaule,
J'entends, j'entends, j'entends le chat miauler.
