 Just purchased March 16, 2000 - a new resource to us recommended by our friend and fellow cherub choir director, Cathy Thomsen, in Calgary.  It comes as a kit with the music book (melody line only) and a cassette tape for $19.95 Can.  We were able to purchase this locally in an Anglican book store in Regina.  Wood Lake Books advised us where the nearest distributor was.  There are 27 songs, only a few of which are familiar children's hymns such as Jesus Loves Me and Away in a Manger.  Some other pieces have familiar music with new words and some songs are brand new to us.  We will certainly make good use of this resource and much of it is accessible for younger members of the choir.  The tape has the accompaniment and the voice on separate channels so if you don't have an accompanist, just put the balance all the over to the accompaniment channel.
