Children's Songbook with CD ReviewReader's Digest Children Songbook is a good book to have on hand for anyone with young children. Since my girls love their tunes, I picked up this songbook for them. They cannot read, of course, so they have no interest in looking through the pages. Each of the songs does include a drawing at the top, complete with animals and other figures, and kids do like these pictures, but the majority of the pages in this book are sheet music, so there are limits to what kids can do. This book is intended, of course, as an adult song guide: A reference to 130 classic children's tunes that kids have been enjoying for generations. From the Muppet Show Theme to Happy Birthday, this book contains many children favorites.
One surprise with this book is the background information on each song. There are facts about the songs, like the composer and any popular recordings, along with trivial facts for some of the tunes. I like this part of the book for its educational value. Children won't care about this at all- it's the adults in the household who will enjoy reading these tidbits of music trivia.
The songs included in this book are very good and there is a wide enough variety that all children will find something they like. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the included CD. My main complaint with the CD is that it includes only 12 songs. When I first purchased this book, I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize the CD had only twelve tunes. Of course, I wasn't expecting all 130 songs to appear on a single CD. But I certainly expected more than 12. Also, the singing isn't the greatest on all the songs. There are several that I skip each time I play the CD to my girls, mainly because I get irritated with the horrendous singing. Even my little girls seem to like some tunes more than others, and it seems like the vocals are the main reason they don't prefer some of the songs.
Overall, Reader's Digest Children Songbook is a good book to have in the house. Many adults already know the lyrics to some of these songs by heart, but it is still nice to have a book like this for looking up less popular songs and for having the sheet music so pianists and guitarists know how to play the songs on their instruments. The CD is a disappointment, but the songbook itself is worth the expenditure and I recommend it to anyone who has youngsters in the house.
