Let me start by saying, this book is a game-changer for piano newbies, whether you're 5 or 50. I've used it to teach my niece, and the progress was unreal—like watching a tiny Mozart in the making!

The Good Stuff: The lessons are stupidly simple to follow. No fancy jargon—just colorful notes, fun songs like 'Old MacDonald,' and bite-sized challenges. My niece went from fumbling with 'Hot Cross Buns' to playing both hands (sort of) in weeks. Also, props for making parents feel like accidental music teachers—bonding over off-key duets is oddly wholesome.

Room for Improvement: If you're expecting flashy graphics or apps, nah. This is old-school paper-and-ink magic. One reviewer mentioned 'dreadful images,' but honestly? The retro charm adds character. Just don’t drop it in the bathtub.

Pro Tip: Pair it with a cheap keyboard and patience. Perfect for after-dinner practice sessions where kids (and adults!) actually want to keep playing. Worth every penny—even my cat approves (mostly).
