Drummer Boy by Loren Long
Fantastically Illustrated Update of 'The Little Drummer Boy'

We just found another pretty children's book to add to our list, 'Drummer Boy' by the wonderful illustrator Loren Long. It's an updated take on the classic story 'The Little Drummer Boy,' and the pictures of fabulously done.

Here's the ditty: "In a wintry little town, a drummer boy appears on a child's doorstep. And when it is still and quiet, the drummer boy plays, boom pum pum boom pum, and warms the child's heart. But one day the drummer boy is accidentally knocked into the trash, sending him on a journey he never imagined--a journey on which he continues to play his drum, warming the hearts of others, from a rat to an owl to a snowman. And in a touching conclusion, his own heart is warmed as he plays to his most perfect audience: the baby in a manger."
