My two-year old daughter and I love this book. The piano arrangements are interesting enough for me, an accomplished pianist, and my daughter loves the high quality pictures of the Disney characters. We both have fun singing the words (and now I actually know all the words to Winnie the Pooh!). I'm giving it to my mom for Christmas - she just started learning the piano a few years ago and she loves Disney. It's a keepsake.

This is a very nice collection, with color drenched little pictures, and a spectacular intro section, but like the previous reviewer says, many of the songs have their initial bars chopped off--and start with the first vocal note. In particular, I noticed it with "When you wish upon a star!" (The "Disney collection" however includes the original dreamy intro.) This illustrated collection also gives you extra lyric sheets for some of the forgetable/non-hummable/dripping-with-embarassing-shlock-sincerity Alladin/Mulan/Pocahantas... era songs, but provides none for the Walt era songs which have much catchier tunes and lyrics. Oh well, "You can't always get what you want..."

My daughters love to sing and play the piano. It's filled with wonderful classics at a relatively easy level for piano and includes all the lyrics. The front section contains intersting facts and history of Disney. It's a book to enjoy for years.

The music in the book is just what they say it is: the actual music from the movies etc. However, as such, the music is fairly simple, but its still great! Oh yeah, amazon will hate me for this, but its cheaper at the other really big Book store oNline.

I'd say that the book is great in that way, that there are shet music to 60 songs. But several of the notes from the new ones like Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Herkules and Beauty & the Beast, are MISSING! The notes to x the first verse - just isn't there!

But, still a good book
