Customer Reviews

How can you possibly not own this book?

I find that it would be inpossible to play an instrument and have children, but not own this book. I used this book while I was learning to play piano growing up and just recently found it in an old box of books. This is an excellent compilation of Folk Songs!

Nostalgia Revisted

I love this book. I have had it forever. It sat on my grandparents piano when I went to visit my grandmother's house in the early 1970s. It sat on my parents piano when I was growing up. I managed to obtain a copy of the revised edition with guitar chords and it has not left my side. When I moved west and had to give up some of my music, I brought it and a binder of other music. At one point I ended up with both my parents tattered copy and my newer edition so I gave my tattered, well-loved copy to my sister.

Childhood sentiment

I got this book from my mother when I was 16, that's more than 40 years ago, and it has been with me and my children ever since. I played the songs on the piano, on the guitar, and with the accordion, and I know them all by heart, including the lively and colorful illustrations ! The arrangements are really good and easy to play.Every year with Christmas I play the songs, and I wouldn't miss this book for the world. If you like singing and playing, order this book, you and your kids will love it !!

I love it.

I have had this book forever! I know almost every song in the book. I love the old pictures! The songs vary from old ballads like Barbra Allen to the American national anthem. I strongly recomend this book. It will always be part of my childhood memories.
