About this product

Product Information

For sixty years audiences have been charmed by the adventures of a tuba named Tubby. All day long, Tubby plays oompah, oompah with his orchestra, but what he really wants is to "dance with the pretty little tune." A resourceful bullfrog shows Tubby that everyone has the right to play his own melody. When the recording of Tubby the Tuba was first released, it met with instant success, and it went on to sell 13 million copies. Now these classic characters have been reimagined by Henry Cole in this stunning picture book, which comes complete with a CD of the author's performance with full orchestration. This is a musical and visual treat for a whole new generation to enjoy the world's most famous tuba.

"In this...satisfying 1940s tale, a tuba that wants to play melodies rather than just oompah-ing along in the background finds unlikely inspiration. In a retro style that harks back to the story's original era, Cole outfits the flexible-bodied instruments with human faces and limbs (though modern dress), and sends bars of music floating past at opportune moments. All in all, the story will still appeal to modern young audiences...." --Kirkus Reviews, "In thisâ€¦satisfying 1940s tale, a tuba that wants to play melodies rather than just oompah-ing along in the background finds unlikely inspiration.

A cute and educational short story, and you get to hear as well as read about it.
This is a short, cute, and educational story for children that teaches kids about some of the instruments in an orchestra. Paul Tripp is a charming narrator in telling you the story. I enjoyed listening to it on the CD that came with the hardcover book.

Tubby tuba
This really brought back memories. As a child of about 6 I used to listen to this constantly in my bedroom. Loved the story. Now at 77 it was so much fun to listen to it again and relive all those memories. Thanks!
