Little Drummer Boy
Little Drummer Boy | Ezra Jack Keats
12 posts | 4 read
In The Little Drummer Boy (an illustrated version of the classic holiday carol), a procession travels to Bethlehem, carrying with them their finest gifts to give to the Baby Jesus. The little drummer boy comes along, but he is too poor to bring a present fit for a king. Instead, he plays a song on his drum for the Christ Child.

I always have a problem with question like my fav christmas song. There are just so many!

So for today,

Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth - the one by Bowie and Bing - the best version ever!

Hot apple cider. Always.

@thespineview @ Keppensol whose name I can not spell right and since i am on a desk top the autolook up doesn't work!

A staple in our holiday preparations when my son was young. He loved to drum.

#hollyjollyreading #holidaysong

My absolute favorite holiday song is The Little Drummer Boy made even better with David Bowie and Bing Crosby. The children's book by Keats is pretty good too.

Mehso-so

I felt a bit meh with this one. The story focuses more on the birth of Jesus, which is actually something I liked. It feels like most stories are about Christmas trees and gifts but here we have a different type of gift. Still, it's hard to convey music through text and that's what I didn't feel. It also feels a bit pointless 🤔🤔 An ok leisure read #tmskellington #holidayread #wintergames

Not book related, but I just had to share: I was cleaning our family room- when this caught my eye. My little one decided to put their band name on his drum set! 😂😂😂 I don‘t know why they picked that name, but The Hylians of Cinnamon has a nice ring to it! 😂😂

GingerAntics Good band name!!! lol 6y
RavenLovelyReads @GingerAntics Thank you! I thought so, too 😂😂 6y

readordierachel Adorable! 6y
ravenlee As a drummer myself, I heartily support this! 6y
RavenLovelyReads @RadicalReader Aww- yes, they are! They also write interesting stories 😁 6y
RavenLovelyReads @readordierachel At times, yes! 😜 6y
RavenLovelyReads @ravenlee What?? You are too cool!! Do you know where I can find a personalized decal for his bass drum? Last minute thought for a Christmas gift! 6y
ravenlee Hmmm, that‘s kind of a challenge. Usually a band logo would be printed directly onto a new drum head, which can be kind of pricey, and I don‘t know how long it would take. But if you know anybody who does CriCut with vinyl (like bumper stickers) that should work. I have a friend who used to do custom stickers but I don‘t know if she still does. 6y
RavenLovelyReads @ravenlee Thanks for the reply! I think I found someone on Etsy! 😃 6y

#12daysofchristmas #thelittledrummerboy I didn't even know this was a book too! I'm posting this because the French version that I learned in high school is so different from the American version and it's the saddest thing, I cry every time I hear it.

LibrarianRyan I will be looking up the French version later. 👍🏻🎅🏼🤓🎄 7y

1. Lol! I thought actual food at first. 🤪. Harry Potter. Always!
2. I know that everyone loves it but when I hear Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing the title I want to run screaming.
3. Nope- we draw names. Only get one for the youngest niece and we do a group one for my parents. Homemade gifts sometime for others.
4. Good Reads goal met- 60 read 124 so far 😁
