4.0 out of 5 stars The Gum on the Drum is un-bear-ably funny!, December 9, 2001
By 
This review is from: The Gum on the Drum (Start to Read! Library Edition Series) (Paperback)
It's about a Bear's sticky situation as a result of trying to chew gum and bang a drum at the same time.

Not only is it a funny story, but the artwork is great, too. The all-animal band & their friends have a down-homey, folksie kind of feel to them-I was sort of reminded of an informal music jam among friends. For example, the Bear and his buddies are wearing rolled-up-sleeve flannel shirts, over-alls, and work boots, like Jerry & the band sittin' around and pickin' at home...

The other animals are a hoot, too, especially the little scurrying critters in the background. Your child will have a fun time picking out the little guys as they react to the main events up on stage. This is one of my faves!

5.0 out of 5 stars 18 Years Ago, this was my Daughter's favorite!, May 19, 2002
This review is from: The Gum on the Drum (Start to Read! Library Edition Series) (Paperback)


It's been 18 years since I read this book to my daughter. Of all the books I used to read her, this one is the one I remember best. The story is funny, and the pictures are interesting for a small child at bedtime. I've often wondered if it were still in publication, and I'm glad to see it is. Try it out on your child, and perhaps it'll create a similar memory for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic early reader book, February 2, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Gum on the Drum (Start to Read! Library Edition Series) (Paperback)
I bought this for my son when he was 18 months along with a lot of other popular first readers. This book and most of the books in the same line are very entertaining compared to the other first readers. The illustrations are detailed enough to discuss and the stories are really funny. It is so much fun to read these books to my son because he can join in with the words and discuss the pictures. He also reads them to his teddy bears. 9 months later I find myself buying second copies of books in the series because they are so worn from me reading them several times a day. :-)
