Product DescriptionOne wintry night, a boy finds a package in front of his house. He opens the early Christmas gift, and discovers a toy drummer, who strikes his tune for him. All is well--until he's accidentally knocked into a wastebasket. An amazing journey begins, and the little toy drummer 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. Loren Long brings this story of an unforgettable little drummer boy to vivid life with his timeless and magical art.
