From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-- Harry's drumming is so infectious that he is joined by three other hedgehogs. Soon, the four friends have the woods ``humming and tumming with drumming.'' When all the other animals cry `` `STOP' '' because they want to play too, Harry suggests they use their bodies to clap, click, hum, hoot, and pop. So they do, in two double-page spreads that include printed words of the sound each animal is making. The theme of the joys of making your own music is secondary to Barton's watercolors of the winsome, jubilant musicians. While teachers may find this a good jumping-off point for making music with children, the story lacks rhythm and zing. Bill Staines's All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir (Dutton, 1989) does a better job with the same idea. --Susan Hepler, Alexandria City Public Schools, VA

From Kirkus Reviews
Harry Hedgehog makes himself a drum; Helen likes the sound and makes another, as do two more hedgehogs--each drum with its own distinctive sound (``Ratta-tat-tat''; ``BOOM''). The four create an uproar that brings out a slew of other animals, not to complain but to join in. The dependable Waddell's simple, expertly fashioned tale has just a touch of humor and is full of pleasing onomatopoeic words. Rendered in soft pencil and watercolor, Barton's creatures are truly engaging, especially the round-bellied hedgehogs (Helen's prickles are ornamented with cherries), while the festivities occur in an inviting grove of huge trees with trunks of tender green. For an intriguing contrast, pair this light-hearted merriment with Marie Hall Ets's pensive In the Forest (1944). (Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
