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.
