Two Sticks

Maybelle wanted SOME drum,

A kettle, snare, not humdrum,

A drum-dee-dum-dee-dum drum,

Oh, any funky fun drum!

But all she has is two sticks — her "tried and trusty true sticks." And so, on tables, chairs, and even her parents' bedroom door, Maybelle takes those sticks and clicks and clacks them, whacks and smacks them — until her sleepy parents shout: STOP! But can Maybelle stop? Even coming face-to-face with eleven toothy crocodiles doesn't deter plucky Maybelle. She keeps her cool — and her beat — charming those reptiles until she finally gets a real drum of her own.

Vibrant art brings a spirited Maybelle to life in this read-aloud gem that pulses with humor and irresistible rhythm and rhyme.
