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.
