Tubby the Tuba

32 pp. | Dutton | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-525-47717-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Tripp's introduction to the orchestra is given new life in this picture book adaptation of the 1940s song. Expressive cartoon instruments act out the slight story of a tuba's desire to play a melody: "people never write melodies for tubas." Nostalgic fans will welcome this book, along with the included CD of Tripp's performance.
