Best children's stories - Tubby The Tuba

Beloved's favourite story from when she was a little girl... her old LP had long since disappeared, and it wasn't in the shops, but here's the audiobook. We just took a listen and both of us had moist eyes... Bear pinching my hand, thoughtfully, while Mitts just rampaged off and tried to climb the couch.

Tubby, a Tuba, just wants to play a melody like all the other instruments...

Enjoy, Tubby The Tuba.

You sent me right back then as I can still hear dear Tubby and his tune. I think I have my LP lurking in the record cupboard. I must look for the record that has 'the runaway train' song on it.

I know if I play Tubby, I'll still cry with joy for him.

I have been looking for this story for my two boys, I loved as a child and could not get enough of it.... and now hearing it again, it still holds the same. The music is beautiful, the bullfrog a great unexpected role model, and Tubby is so ready to break convention and challenge conformity. What a story - become the change you want to see!!
