If I told you that today’s post features a cute little French chick singing, you probably wouldn’t guess what I am talking about…

Non, I’m not referring to Yelle, Priscilla, or any other young French chanteuse (female singer.)

In fact, I’m talking about a real little French *animal* chick (in French poussin), who’s now doing quite well on the French charts!

Please meet le Poussin Piou (Piou the Chick), a new French character inspired by the smashing successes of his Brazilian, Italian and Greek counterparts.

Le Poussin Piou (The Chick Piou)

A French song that is FUN, especially if you want to teach your Kids French!
