Professor Rogal has produced a helpful tool for the study of children's hymnody. ... The bibliography is arranged alphabetically. Some of the entries are annotated; the notes give information such as the number of hymns in the book, later editions of the work, and denominational association. Biographical information is supplied for many authors and compilers. ... The four indexes increase the usefulness of the book. The first lists sponsoring denominations, organizations, institutions, and societies. The second names sponsoring local churches and schools. Authors, compilers, editors, and contributors are indexed third. The last index gives printers' and publishers' names, divided into an American and a British list. ... Overall, the bibliographic and biographic information is presented in a useful format. The introduction is interesting, and the author expresses some meaningful insights. The work can serve as a helpful basic reference....-The Hymn
