4. The songs in this book brought me back to my childhood. It was very nostalgic and I enjoyed how they brought back classic songs as well as newer ones. The illustrations also made it great to read.

This is a great collection of fun children's songs to sing that we have had a lot of fun with at my house. There are a wide range of songs, from Sesame Street to folk songs to silly songs.
