Some time in the distant past (before 2015) we bought ukuleles. We did two terms of classes. I had never played a stringed instrument and I cannot say that it took. Even during lockdowns, when I kept thinking I should take it up again I found other things to do. Then I saw this book, and was delighted to get my hands on it. I'm not one for Christmas, so it was a weird decision, but there you go. I downloaded the book, got out my pretty pink uke and off I went! This book is easy to follow, has clear notation for people who read music and people who do not and linked video tutorials. A winner of a book, and delightful to be strumming away again.

Thanks to NetGalley and Forte Publishing for the free ebook in exchange for an honest review, and the authors for writitng a book that is both simple and inspiring.

I loved this so much. I'm an older adult who decides every now and then to pick up a random hobby. Last year I bought a ukulele, and I'm not great at learning. This is one of the best books I've seen for teaching simple songs.
There is an introduction and then there are several Christmas songs. All of the songs have a small bit of history and the playing is kept simple. Not only that, anyone who buys this can watch the videos for free by the people who wrote the book. My favorite Christmas song is in the book, but every selection looks great. There are also several other simple books for ukulele by the same people.
Thanks so much to NetGalley for letting me read this.

This appears to be the "large print" edition of a songbook I've already got, and having used it before I can say that it's quite good. It's got a great introduction to the ukulele for beginners which sets the stage for very easy songs to play. The other nice thing about this book is that it has the notation for individual notes for players who want to pluck the strings, and it also has chord placements for those who wish to strum. Lots of good song choices, too. Highly recommended if you want to learn some easy carols for the holiday season.
