The first book is just the pentatonic scale. No 'Fa' and no 'Ti'. That is to say, no half-steps (which are the hardest to tune). I promise you, if you have a good foundation of sight-singing the major/minor pentatonic scale, you'll be well on your way to reading any tonal music. Adding in those half-steps later will be easy.
Hope that helps!
The second book is to help with tuning and harmonizing. I practice it with my right hand playing one part on the piano and singing the other part.
Yes, Christ the King is in the very slender "Proper - Supplement" volume of the English Gradual. (I know because I had to remember to swap out the main Proper volume from my bag to make sure I had the right book with me today!)
Having Christ the King today is just about the only inroad Vatican II has made into our place, and apparently some time before my time we did keep it on the October date. I don't know when we made the switch.
