Drummer Boy of John John

Review
By Children's Literature

In this clever retelling of the invention of the steel drum, both author and illustrator show the joy and excitement of the small Trinidad town where a young boy changed music forever. Following the simple tale is a short biography detailing the creation of the steel drum and providing additional information about its maker, Winston “Spree” Simon. This would be a great classroom resource for a music teacher to use with younger grades.”
