Drummer Boy

(2) K-3 Parted from his owner, a toy drummer boy embarks on adventures. He plays his drum, soothing the hearts of all who hear him. After a miraculous reunion, the drummer boy plays for the Christ child in his young owner's family Nativity scene. This is a sumptuous production--larger than the usual picture book, with richly colored, detailed double-page spreads--and beautifully written.
