The Little Drummer Boy: Based on the Beloved Christmas Song

32 pp. | NorthSouth | October, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-4325-7 $17.95
(4) K-3 An orphan drummer boy gives the gift of music to the newborn king. This version of the Nativity story isn't set in Bethlehem, however, but in what looks like a Germanic village in winter. The snow-dusted landscape in a pastel palette evokes a picturesque scene, but the winter setting for the well-known story seems incongruous. Information about the Grimm brothers is mistakenly appended.
