#drummerhoff

Cumulative stories are uniquely wonderful for getting kids excited about reading, and none more so than Barbara and Ed Emberley's "Drummer Hoff" (1967). Winner of a 1968 Caldecott Medal for its richly coloured psychedelic illustrations, the repetitive nature of the text will have kids memorising it and chanting along in no time--and begging for repeated readings! 📚📙📗 Whether you read it as a charming soldiers' tale of days gone by, or as gently anti-war (at the end of the book, time has passed and the cannon is shown quietly overgrown with plants and cobwebs), Drummer Hoff is sure to appeal to everyone. ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #drummerhoff #barbaraemberley #edemberley #emberley #edemberleybooks #edemberly #edemberlybooks #prenticehall #prenticehallliterature #caldecott #caldecottmedal #awardwinner #awardwinningchildrensbooks #cumulativestory #caldecottbooks #cumulativestories #cannon #1967 #1960sbooks #1960spicturebooks #1960skidsbooks #vintagepicturebooks #childhoodmemories #booklove #beautifulbooks #bookstagrammer #kidsbookstagram #childrensliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CaxsenAJ7/?igshid=1sjetvmp2274c

General Border gave the order, Major Scott brought the shot, Captain Bammer brought the rammer, Sergeant Chowder brought the powder, Corporal Farrell brought the barrel, Private Parriage brought the carriage, but Drummer Hoff fired it off. #mikepence #drummerhoff #northkorea Drummer Hoff by Barbara and Ed Emberley #picturebooks #kidlitart #caldecott
