Recommendations for starting a child?

twinkletoes posted on Sep 07, 2006 at 08:31PM

Hi all. My niece is interested in the ukulele and I'm wondering if anyone has experience or success with introducing kids to the ukulele?

Are there any books or online tutorials specifically geared towards children?

Thanks in advance! :-)
