Drummer Hoff

Summary: colorfull entertainment
Review: This is probably the best "read aloud" book you will find. The story is about soldiers building a cannon and the name of each character ryhmes with the job he undertakes in the project (Drummer Hoff fired it off). The Illustrations are so colorful, detailed, and unusual each character takes on his own personality without saying anything. Our hero remains however, the silent, solitary Drummer Hoff, waiting throughout to do his duty. Children will love to hear it read, learn to read it themselves, and then read it aloud to you. Wonderful.

Summary: A Family Classic
Review: Well, I probably cannot praise this book enough. I was first introduced to this book when my daughter was in kindergarten. I could not tell you how many times she checked this book out of the library. So many, in fact, the entire family was tired of reading it to her. But still, whenever I mention it to her, she smiles. And my son makes it into a game. Who can remember the lines? I think we've actually added soldiers to the story. The rhythm and rhyme of the story is just perfect. The illustrations are beautiful. They are so vivid and bright. This goes down as a classic for our family.
