Hello, I am interested in the book of 100 Children’s Songs from around the World. I wanted to know whether the book contains phonetic pronunciation guides as well as translations. I work with kids and would love to be able to write a phonetic version of the song for them to see as they sing in unfamiliar languages. The transliteration of “The Chicken Song” was essential to being able to teach it and sing it with English-speaking children.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

Hi, Thanks for your interest in our book Will. Mostly the songs with non-Roman text have phonetic versions in the song notes. -Lisa
