Summary: Well...it WAS what I was looking for !
Review: After reading the other reviews of this book, I realized it was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted sheet music for some of the songs. This book had many of the songs I was looking for...in particular "Interplanet Janet", "Three is a Magic Number", "I'm Just a Bill", and "Conjunction Junction".If you are looking for sheet music for Schoolhouse Rock, this has some good ones in it! There is very little in the book besides the sheet music, so I could see why other people were disappointed if they didn't realize what this book really contained.

Summary: fun to play
Review: I viewed this book at a bookstore before buying it so I knew exactly what I was, and wasn't purchasing. I have no problem with it being incomplete and I do have a lot of fun playing the pieces. I especially enjoy the fun bits -- the intro. to "Conjunction Junction" is a kick. If you are a good pianist and have some rhythm (swing baby), you should be able to play the music. One thing I don't like about most piano books (including this one) is the binding. Most of the time it's a real fight to keep the book open unless you break the binding.

Summary: Dissapointingly incomplete
Review: Only contains the ten songs "Conjunction Junction", "Dollars and Sense", "Electricity, Electricity", "The Great American Melting Pot", "I'm Just a Bill", "Interplanet Janet", "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly", "My Hero, Zero", "No More Kings" and "Three is a Magic Number". I would have been willing to pay three times as much for a complete set, or happy to get a consistent set (all History Rock, for example) but the odd selection is annoying and nearly useless. Don't buy it unless you are specifically looking for one of these songs.

Summary: NOT WORTH IT
Review: This book is not what I expected. It is designed for musicians, of which I am not. I expected a book filled with every song just like the video series and with only the words to the songs. A lot of my favorite songs were not included. Only 10 songs with sheet music is included.

Summary: NOT WORTH IT
Review: You shouldn't get this book unless you certainly like one of the contained songs. Only 10 of the 51 Schoolhouse Rock songs were used. The 41, or full season's worth minus the plot, not used, are in no particular order: Interjections Tyrannosaurus Debt The Weather Show The Body Machine Busy Prepositions The Tale of Mr. Morton Tax Man Max Mother Necessity Three-Ring Government A Noun Is A Person, Place or Thing Naughty Number Nine The Check's In The Mail This For That The Good Eleven Fireworks The Preamble Elementary, My Dear The Four-Legged Zoo Do The Circulation Telegraph Line etc.
