This book is filled with songs that I remember from childhood but have forgotten all the words to. Now I can sing songs to my daughter instead of just humming the tunes! Our family has had a lot of fun with this book.

You know all those songs we grew up with and want to share with our children, but you can't remember the words or music? Well this is the book for you complete with guitar chords and original words! A great collection for any home.

This book has a great selection of songs. I remember a lot of these songs from my childhood. The accompaniment for most of the songs is easy. My only concern is how difficult it is to keep the book open on a music stand. It's a big book with thick binding.

The Marvelous Toy * Balloon-Alloon-Alloon * Peas Porridge Hot * Hot Cross Buns * Polly-Wolly-Doodle * The Green Grass Grew All Around * I've Got Sixpence * The man On the Flying Trapeeze * The Riddle Song * The Thing That Isn't There * It Ain't Gonna Rain No More * There's a man in China * London Bridge * It's Raining, It's Pouring * Take Me Out To the Ball Game * This Old Man * the Muffin Man * Ten Little Indians * John Jacob Jingle heimer Schmidt * Row, Row, Row Your Boat * The Sidewalks of New York * My Bonnie * Bicycle Built for Two * You Are My Sunshine*

and others....

I was very dissapointed when I received this book. Not only was the collection mostly obscure songs I've never heard of (which is the case with most of these children's song books), some of the songs that I was looking forward to learning only had the first verse of the song.

I cannot recommend this book. I'm trying to figure out if I can still return it, since I will almost never use it if I keep it.
