Written by David L. Harrison and pictured by Eloise Wilkin, this story follows a boy and his drum as animals fall in behind him on the march to the top of a hill, and it is meant to be read in rhythm, as if you were beating the drum yourself. Although it isn't a Christmas book, it is often read at Christmastime because so many readers associate it with "The Little Drummer Boy."
A sweet gift for a young reader, or for the collector of Eloise Wilkin and vintage Little Golden Books.
The Boy with a Drum was first published in 1969 and was David L. Harrison's first children's book, launching a career that would grow to dozens of titles for young readers. Eloise Wilkin (1904–1987) illustrated 47 Golden Book titles, and longtime Golden Books editor Jane Werner Watson called her "the soul of Little Golden Books."
