Title: THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOT SIMPLE
Review: The idea is a good one: A BIG BOOK OF CHILDREN'S SONGS. There are many classic kid's song and this is probably a good book if one just needs the lyrics but the arrangements are not simple or easy to play. I have taught guitar for many years and I can tell you that the publishers have made these songs much more complicated than they actually are. For example, the Beatle's tune, YELLOW SUBMARINE is a simple 3-chord song in the key of G but here they've added 3 extra chords not in the original tune. Another complaint is the authors have transposed many of these song in the key of "F" which unfortunately is one of the hardest chords to play for beginning guitarists especially people with little hands. If you want simple arrangements and easy-to-play kid's tunes - look elsewhere.
