"It is almost Friday night. Outside, the dark is getting darker," and here and there around the city ninety-two men and thirteen women are getting dressed to go to work. First they bathe and put on their underwear. Then they don special black-and-white apparel. Then when the one hundred and five people are completely ready, each takes a musical instrument and travels to midtown. There, at 8:30 tonight, they will work together: playing. In these pages Karla Kuskin and Marc Simont combine their talents to give us a delightful and unusual inside view of one way an orchestra prepares.

In this great read-aloud with a buoyant urban beat, a little girl holds a tin cup up to her ear like a conch shell and hears crashing, calling, rushing, honking, and joking. Kuskin has composed an urban symphony full of the life and energy that gives a city its city sound. Flower's visually riotous illustrations will delight country and city kids. Full color.
