Actually, the problem that I run into is that they are too nearly equal! I
and my daughter enjoy playing together but something that is simple for me
may still be beyond her even on the easier part.

However if you are looking for parts that ARE more nearly equal, the Rubank
duet books should fill the bill as would the duets in the complete Klose
method book.
