Index to Kindergarten Songs Including Singing Games and Folk Songs

A practical guide for teachers, librarians, and anyone who works with young children, this index gathers together more than sixty song collections that were recommended for kindergarten use and for folk‑music programs. Compiled from the St. Louis Public Library’s own holdings and the American Library Association’s catalogs, it brings together titles that range from simple playroom jingles to traditional singing games from many nations. The effort reflects the real‑world requests of kindergartners eager to find the melodies they love, making it a handy reference for early‑year educators.

Entries are arranged alphabetically by composer, first line, title and, when relevant, the lyricist, with variations clearly noted in parentheses. A separate list at the back points out songs suited for special holidays and seasonal celebrations. The layout mirrors the familiar Granger format, allowing quick cross‑reference without the need for subject headings, so users can locate a specific tune or discover new material with minimal effort.
