This much-loved collection contains 52 of your favourite childhood songs: nursery rhymes, song-stories, folk tunes, pop hits, musicals and music hall classics. There are action songs, calming songs and happy songs to dance to, perfect for the classroom, choirs and for singing at home with mummy, daddy, grandma or grandad. Each song has an easy accompaniment for piano or keyboard, guitar chords and full lyrics, and most include simple play-along ideas for percussion, recorder or other instruments. The clear and accessible sheet music, familiar tunes and charming illustrations mean many of the pieces are suitable for helping teach children how to read music. Full instrumental recordings are available separately as an audiobook or on CD – ideal for playing before bedtime or having a karaoke session in the car on holiday!
