The program, which spotlights one book each month, accompanies storytelling with music.
This weekend's selection is "Tubby the Tuba," by Paul Tripp, about a tuba that's tired of just playing "oompah, oompah."
Besides the storyteller, there will also be tuba and synthesizer players on hand.
Upcoming books are: "Piano Starts Here: The Young Art Tatum," by Robert Andre Parker (Nov. 7); "The Composer is Dead," by Lemony Snicket (Dec. 5); and "Opera Cat," by Tess Weaver (Jan. 23, 2010).
The recommended ages are children 4-10, and all families are welcome. Performances are at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Yes, it's been a literary few days here at L.A. Story, but who's complaining?
