Volume 2 Children's Songs expands the range to include bass notes and B flat. It includes 12 more familiar children's songs: BINGO, I'm A Little Teapot, Old MacDonald, There's A Hole In My Bucket, and more. The holiday collection, Christmas Songs, has song charts of 11 familiar Christmas songs: Jingle Bells, O Christmas Tree, Joy To The World, The First Noel, Twelve Days Of Christmas, and more. The song charts can be laminated.
