4.0 out of 5 stars this book is lots of fun, March 29, 2000

By	F. Pak "umiluv" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This Disney song book is fun and easy to play. It's not a fake bookbut the songs are sort of shortened, which I didn't like very much. However, it's still a great book. There is a history of how they included music into the Disney movies and cartoons. There are even songs to the Disney afternoon cartoons. There are a few full paged illustrations and each song title has a illustration next to it. I definitely recommend this book to Disney song lovers out there.

By A Customer

I am a young pianist and I am at an Intermediate-Advanced level. I found this book challenging and fun. It can be used for the guitar, piano, and vocals and contains many classic Disney songs. I would recomend this book to ametuer musicians and all Disney fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great to have, but missing some favorites, April 19, 2007

By	Ella's Mom (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This book was the best I could find to give me music and lyrics for a wide variety of songs that my 2 yr old knows now, as well as may become familiar with in the future.

But there are two flaws: It is missing some favorite songs, and not all the verses and intro riffs are shown with the music, so you'll have to improvise if you have a drama star in your home.

The missing favorites especially seem to be from the older movies I grew up with, such as 'Never smile at a Crocodile". I presume these have been dropped over the years to make room for newer Disney tunes, but frankly, I don't have much use for the theme to "Brother Bear" for example.

Also, not all the verses and are shown with the actual sheet music. Instead, the complete lyric is shown after the song, with the music published only for the excerpt. This is annoying if you need to sing the complete song with your child.
