3.0 out of 5 stars My grandkids love this music, June 1, 2007

By	Elisabeth I. Perry (St Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These stories of Tubby the Tuba and Celeste enchanted me and my kids when we were children. I bought this CD for my grandchildren, who also love it. This recording, however, was somewhat flawed. The "Once" in "Once upon a time" doesn't come through on the first story. My alert 5-yr-old granddaughter caught that and said, "It's not at the beginning!" She got used to it after a while, however, and now doesn't complain. Also, in the story of Celeste, the volume suddenly rises half way through the story. Again, my granddaughter doesn't mind, but I have to run over and turn it down! Anyway, these aren't major flaws, and the recording is still worth while, but I thought potential buyers should know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for a Baby Boomer OR a Three yr-old, June 12, 2009

Hubby played a baritone horn in school and has taken up the Euphonium for fun as an adult. Tubby the Tuba is a fun reminder of his childhood when he was inspired to play - inspiration that reaches far into his life and can continue to inspire new generations, with a little help from parents. Great product for the young - like hearing Mozart while still in the womb. Music goes with you anywhere your head goes - fabulous gift to children and mankind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun piece, September 1, 2008

By	Lisa Yamamoto (LA/Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good recording. Love Meredith Vieira, although she was a bit low-key in this studio version (a live recording before an audience may have yielded more excitement). It was a good reference for school performance of the piece, both for the musicians and narrator.
