The well-known children's entertainer has compiled a collection of fifty-one songs from his first three albums for children: The Corner Grocery Store, More Singable Songs, and Singable Songs For The Very Young.

Songs are arranged alphabetically by title within three divisions (one for each album) and a crayon legend is used to identify each of the divisions. Each song contains piano accompaniment, lyrics, and chords. The spiral-bound collection also includes a variety of crayon drawings that have been done by children throughout Canada, along with various photographs of the entertainer.

Other features include an alphabetical index of song titles, an album index, and a series of charts depicting guitar and ukelele chords. Songs that require few chord changes have also been listed.

A very usable collection that includes favourites such as "Down By The Bay," "The Dreydel Song" and a selection of French songs. Highly recommended for anyone working with children.
