I used this as a sight-reading exercise. I guess I did that for the three songs that J. T. uses to ease us into the book. I was (and am!) still working on Sonata in F from the 4th grade book, so these that weren't so taxing to technique, I used to improve my still-weak sight-reading skills. I found that I was able to progress steadily through the text. Though I went slowly, I wasn't frustrated, and I consider that tremendous progress, as I usually face sight reading with trepidation and immense discomfort. The B♭ major key signature wasn't too much of a hurdle.
