Review:

Pam Wedgwood s popular light relief between grades book series grow once more, this time with 16 carols and popular Christmas songs laid out with simple arrangements for the beginner to grade one student...As ever, in this series of musical sorbets, Wedgwood has included some of her own original compositions here too. Very festive and very fun. --MI Pro Magazine, November 2007

These two volumes are perfect for entertaining young pupils over the Christmas holiday period. The first book contains nineteen simple arrangements of Christmas Carols.... Most of these are straight and with uncomplicated left hand accompaniments thus enabling children to play a complete version of familiar tunes. --Piano Professional, Autumn 2008
