Children's Song Favorites is a collection of 75 songs for children of all ages most of them from the folk tradition. They have been collected over more than fifty years by a professional folk singer who is also a mother andgrandmother.

Many of them are unusual— for example all 13 verses of 'The Three Blind Mice ' 'Hail to Britannia' (aBritish nursery rhyme song) and for older children 'Chopo My Pony' (a cowboy song) 'Old Thompson's Mule' (of minstrel origin) and 'The Housewife's Lament.' Audience requests have persuaded the author to include two pieces shehas written—'The Doll Song' and 'The Solution to Pollution.'

The songs are arranged alphabetically and an extra table of contents lists the songs by categories: animals cowboys and the West creative activity dance tunes history holidays quiet time and teaching. Although this book was designed primarily for children the author regularly uses many of these songs with grown-up audiences.
