DRUMMER HOFF is a lively folk verse all about the building of a cannon. Brightly dressed in full uniform, each soldier brings a part for the remarkable machine.
Corporal Farrell brings the barrel, Sergeant Chowder brings the powder, General Border gives the order—but it's Drummer Hoff who actually fires the cannon off and explodes the whole rhyme into a glorious burst of color.
Ed Emberley uses here bright colors over woodcut lines. The gay illustrations and snappy rhythm of the verse will inspire a smart salute and a march about the room.
