Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 4--This title has much to offer: 100 songs of childhood, many of them old favorites; clear text and simple, easily played piano and/or guitar accompaniments; and games and activities to be used in conjunction with the tunes. There are a number of songs in Spanish, one in French (with English translations), a number of African-American origin, and one Chippewa lullaby. The illustrations are stylized, almost like computerized graphics, and suit the breezy text and cheerful songs. While P. Fox's Go In and Out the Window (Holt, 1987) is visually much more attractive, it includes only 61 of the most familiar tunes. The focus of Sharon, Lois & Bram's Mother Goose (Little, Brown, 1986) is nursery songs and rhymes. Eddleman's title holds its own against these two standards in the field.

Wonderful Book for small kids and bigger kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: ATF121 - Great Childrens Songbook: A Treasure Chest of Music & Activities (Paperback)
This book is ideal for parents who are looking to introduce their kids to music, as well as older kids who are learning to play their first instruments. The music is easy to read, uncomplicated and the book contains most of the popular childrens songs. It also contains multiple verses of the songs, which our kids love. My wife plays the flute for the kids and they have a great time singing the songs along with her.

This review is from: ATF121 - Great Childrens Songbook: A Treasure Chest of Music & Activities (Paperback)
The book was great more than what I bargained for, it was for my music class that I have to take, the only problem I have is the book that I recieved came from a library, it makes me nervous when I buy books from sellers on amazon and they have come from a library because I am not sure if the seller bought it from the library or if it was stolen, other than that I would highly reccommend this book to anyone wanting to purchase one, it has lots of great ideas for the songs.
