My students were intrigued by this work. We played the pieces at 60%, right hand only, then left hand, then together. The kids were determined to play keeping the beat and that's great! Getting the kids enthusiastic about playing is the main objective and I think these books do just that. As a slight improvement, I would add the chord symbols. Overall, this is a splendid learning tool.
This book has some really catchy songs. I use this in my senior Piano class and they absolutely love it. I especially like the practice tracks that are slowed down for the students.
