There are many fun songs in this collection,including Muppet favorites, nursery rhymes, Disney and songs such as Puff the Magic Dragon, Mairzy Doats and Yellow Submarine. I particularly like the piano arrangements.

I was very disappointed in this book. It includes many popular songs, but excludes many many more. I was looking for a classic collection of children's songs (Home on the Range, O Susannah, On Top of Old Smokey, There's a Hole in my Bucket, Down in the Valley) none of which are included. The binding is adequate, the lyric book is flimsy.

My 3 1/2 year old son loves this book and we sing songs out of it almost every day. Some of the choices are a bit odd (Barney Google?) but most are fun and the book has a nice and varied selection. One problem is that many of the songs are in a key that is very high for singing. For someone like me, who isn't quite musical enough to transpose keys, this can be a bit annoying. But we certainly have lots of fun with this book, and my son is getting the exposure to music he needs at this age, along with the feeling that singing together is fun.

I ordered this book last year for my first grandchild. Now I'm getting another book for my second. Their moms love to sing to them. It won't be too long before the kids are able to sing along.

I don't know how we managed without this book. It is fabulous! Has just about every childhood song in it!

The book I grew up with! My mom played the piano out of this book for years and so did I as I got older. Now that I have a piano of my own, I wanted it! It was EXACTLY the same as I remembered. Perfect condition!

Great product. My grown children still love this book. Now their children are enjoying it with us. I have even used it for sing-alongs with adults. Everyone loves this book. Everyone should own one!

My mother bought this book for our family when I was a little. My siblings and I loved being able to sing songs that we knew and loved. I bought a copy because now I'm a mommy. My daughter LOVES this book. She flips through the songs and makes me sing them. It's a game to see which ones I know (about 2/3). Many of the songs are somewhat outdated as the music book is rather old. But I recognize some of the tunes when I attempt to pick them out on the piano.
The only problem I have with the book is the spiral binding. The cover fell off and my daughter turned a few pages right out of the spiral before I caught her looking at it.

This book was only four dollars, and is in excellent condition. Mailed promptly, and so much fun to play all the old songs I remember from childhood.

My daughter was thrilled with her "new" music. The music was in perfect condition and shipped quickly! Thank you!
