Review Detail

When Strum and Drum wake up from a deep slumber, they decide to do what they do best and that's creating beautiful music. As they set forth on their adventure, they're warned to not be too loud or else the Great Beast will get them. But Strum and Drum continue to play because it's what they love. However, they soon find themselves in a scary predicament that requires someone else to save them.

STRUM AND DRUM: A MERRY LITTLE QUEST reads like a Christmas fairytale with a unique ending. Throughout the entire story, I wondered where they were heading or where the twist was. I was pleasantly surprised once I reached it and discovered what the Great Beast was. This brought a smile and a laugh to my daughter's face and it's a creature we didn't guess. The illustrations are simple yet cute with shading for details. The whole plot reminds me of a myth or legend one would pass on and a Christmas story that's unlike any other.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of holiday stories and those looking for different ones. I love the twist ending and hope you will too because I never saw it coming.
