Always fun to read a kid’s story. The Philharmonic Gets Dressed by Karla Kuskin tells the story of the 105 men and women who prepare for that sacred event that occurs every night of the week, maybe not on Mondays though. The illustrations are great and show the different men and women preparing for the greatest musical event that occurs on a regular basis, the Philharmonic! From taking baths, shaving, dressing, and getting in subways, Kuskin’s cute story gives young readers the opportunity to think about how musicians on the BIG stage get prepared to go to work. This book would certainly resonate with future violinists, bassists, and conductors (yes the conductor is the only one who wears the white tie and tails!). Cute book! Take a look like I did while standing in the aisles at Barnes and Noble!
