Title: A little too cluttered
Product review: I borrowed this book for my 4 year old daughter as part of her homeschooling for Kindergarten. I was very glad that I didn't buy it. Although I'm a big Usborne fan, this book moves very quickly with several concepts on each page and no repeat lessons. The pages are very colorful and the cartoon characters are cute, but the pages are so cluttered with information and speech balloons that they become a distraction and definitely not learner friendly. I did, however, like that it begins with the notes labeled by letter A,B,C, etc instead of finger numbers. Instead of this book I ended up buying Hal Leonard's First Piano book, which is excellent. It moves nice and easy and is very clear and consise giving enough time for practice before moving onto new concepts. Before buying the Usborne book, I recommend borrowing it from the library to see if it's appropriate for you. It was not appropriate for us.
