5 out of 5 stars This music teacher says "yes"!!!!!!   May 20, 2001

This collection is a mainstay of my collection of teaching materials. There are many classic tunes as well as some lesser known gems. The collection is organized into songs by category. Some of the tunes are different, but it is a great resource for lyrics alone. My children love this book as well!!!


5 out of 5 stars Great for kids and I love it too!   October 27, 2000

I am a nanny for a young child under two, and we have a great time singing and playing songs on the piano. She bangs along on the keys while I play, and sometimes I stop playing and let her have at it, and she makes up her own songs and music to play. She is developing an ability to play specific and consecutive notes, which is pretty remarkable for a such a young child. Most of the arrangements are very good as noted by the other reviewer. The book is also very well illustrated, she takes as much delight in the drawings as in the music.


5 out of 5 stars A very complete collection   March 23, 2000

I got this book as a gift, and have enjoyed it thoroughly.It's reminded me of some of the songs I loved as a kid, and providedarrangements that sound good but are easy enough for a novice pianist. It doesn't have EVERY classic song, but I'm surprised when I look a song up and it ISN'T there.


5 out of 5 stars GREAT for Encouraging Little Musicians   November 17, 2005

My 2 year old LOVES this book! He knows exactly which pages contain his favorite songs as almost every page has pictures and he remembers the pictures (e.g. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star page has a circle of stars). I play the piano and so we have had countless hours of enjoyment sitting and the piano "playing" them together. A great buy whether you play or not!


5 out of 5 stars great for guitar as well as piano   December 19, 2006

I was babysitting for a friend and she had this book open on her piano. Several others have mentioned how nice it is for piano, but it's also great if you're a guitar player, even if you're not an expert guitar player! As others have noted, the arrangements are basic enough that beginners (like myself) can play most of these tunes on the first try. It has just about every children song you can think of - from Eensy weensy spider to some nice patriotic ones. If you spend even a little time with children, this book will help you fill your time with music. Great for parents, daycares, camps, caregivers, etc. I came home to order a copy for myself right away.
