***Due to the age of the book at publishing, some parts may be considered offensive***
The Wee Sing brand was known during its peak to provide songbook compilations and cassettes to teach younger generations music and/or rhymes from the past as well as sometimes something newer like this book. As a result some of the songs during these bitter years are definitely not going to be received well or even considered politically correct.
Each book is a collection of poems and various brief songs, the latter which are put on musical scales for those who not only talented in singing but also in playing an instrument. And sometimes if a tune has been recycled that information has also been shared.
The book is divided into four sections, which differ in tempo for the songs, allowing for those who may still sing around a campfire to find something more suited for their set-up. The book does have a lot of old timey spiritual as well as more non-spitual songs thus readers will find some translations in the book, some song motions and just some general suggestions on the piece itself.
The book does include some black-and-white illustrations that are detailed and realistic to somewhat cartoonish
All in all if you are looking to share with your younger ones healthy and mostly wholesome older songs from the past than I would highly recommend these time capsules even with all their now perceived faults.
