Cornebidouille – Puppet show

Pierre is a little boy who never wants to eat his soup. Fed up with his behavior, his parents warn him that the witch Cornebidouille visits children at night who refuse their soup! Pierre doesn’t believe in witches—but one night… things take a turn.

Cornebidouille is also the creation of author Pierre Bertrand, who joined the team in 2016 to help adapt the story and write songs. His books, published by L’École des Loisirs, are well-known among young readers.

In French.  Kids ages 4 and up.
