"Brother John," who sleeps and sleeps and doesn't want to wake up even from the ding-ding-dong of the bells, is known all over the world. In France, they sing about "Frère Jacques," in Italy about "Fra Martino," in England about "Brother John," and in Turkey about "Tembel çocuk." This simple, one-stanza song is printed in five languages in the book. The child experiences the joy of getting to know a first foreign-language song and perhaps being able to sing it together with native-speaking children. The fun illustrations introduce the respective countries and provide interesting facts even for very young children.
