I bought this for my dad because he used to have a photocopy of a typed version about 25 years ago and now I have my own son, I keep remembering these silly French versions of nursery rhymes. It is actually quite an amazing feat the way it is written and I know my dad will love revisiting its nonsense rhymes.
I've owned a copy of this (and the German equivalent!) for decades and am thrilled to be giving both copies to a tri-lingual speaker with English as his Mother-Tongue so he's been couched in the tradition of our Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.
