From Booklist:

“Boy in the yard / drumming so hard, / calling all kids / to come drum in the yard.” Leaning against a tree and beating a kettle with a spoon and whisk, a smiling young drummer seems to be in the zone, mesmerized by his own beats. An exuberant, multicultural crowd quickly gathers, and as hundreds and hundreds of kid drummers march down the streets, they turn the heads of the ho-hum passersby. No one can resist the beat of the drum, and the parade makes the world smile and join in: “People in traffic keeping the beat / on the hood and the trunk / and the bicycle seat. / Mamas in rollers / rock babies in strollers.” Guidone's steadily rhythmic, rhyming text captures the allure of a beating drum, and Newton's catchy illustrations echo the cadences of people at work (plumbers drumming on pipes, a dockworker tapping a crate). The crowd parading over the arch of a globe shows the worldwide appeal of rhythm, which will start listeners tapping for sure. A great choice for an active storytime. Preschool-Grade 3. --Patricia Austin
