  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maybelle wanted SOME drum,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;A kettle, snare, not humdrum,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;A drum-dee-dum-dee-dum drum,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oh, any funky fun drum!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;But all she has is two sticks &amp;#8211; her &amp;#8220;tried and trusty true sticks.&amp;#8221; And so, on tables, chairs, and even her parents&amp;#8217; bedroom door, Maybelle takes those sticks and clicks and clacks them, whacks and smacks them &amp;#8211; until her sleepy parents shout: STOP! But can Maybelle stop? Even coming face-to-face with eleven toothy crocodiles doesn&amp;#8217;t deter plucky Maybelle. She keeps her cool &amp;#8211; and her beat &amp;#8211; charming those reptiles until she finally gets a real drum of her own. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Vibrant art brings a spirited Maybelle to life in this read-aloud gem that pulses with humor and irresistible rhythm and rhyme. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

Which I don't mind infront of my girls, maybe I would feel a little silly reading it to the drum beat it is written in if I was infront of other moms but I think it is really fun.

    <body><![CDATA[Infectious, if not a teeny bit grating.  Nice rhythms with a bayou bent. The illustrations are wonderful. My little boys giggled at the sound of my &quot;drum-dee-dum-dee-doo sticks&quot; and could definitely relate to our heroine's penchant for noisemaking. ]]></body>
