Illustrated by
Preston McDaniels.
This "contemporary hymn" lists things that will "sing to the Lord a new song": "Classrooms and labs, loud boiling test tubes...." The Sendak-inspired, crosshatched illustrations show a Mickey-esque boy in top hat and union suit cavorting through humorously drawn settings. Neither text nor art shows narrative progression, but the visual details will attract readers to this pleasantly pious work. A musical score is included.
