"This man hooks a wide black cloth belt around his waist. The belt is called a cummerbund. None of the other men wear belts with their pants. They button suspenders onto the waistlines of their pants and snap the suspenders over their shoulders."

【素敵な洋書絵本の紹介】 金曜日の夜です。 外はだんだんと暗くなっていきます。 92人の男性と13人の女性に注目をしましょう。 彼らはまず入浴します。それから白と黒の服を身につけるのです。 そして準備が整うと、それぞれが楽器を持ってミッドタウンに向かいます。彼らが向かうのはコンサートホール。 今夜の8時30分から、彼らの仕事が始まります。 オーケストラのメンバーが仕事の準備を始めてから、公演がスタートするまでの流れを描いています。 公演直前の音出しや調整をしているかなような、音の響きが随所から聴こえてくるような絵本です。 マーク・シーモンとの魅力的な挿絵も注目ですね！ The Philharmonic Gets Dressed (1ST ed.)

"It is 8:30 on Friday night, and the one hundred and five men and women dressed completely in black and white have gone to work turning the black notes on white pages into a symphony." From "The Philharmonic Gets Dressed" by Karla Kuskin and Marc Simont.This was written in 1982 but holds up well, and the glimpses of how different some things like getting dressed were back then are charming and fascinating. I'd love to see an epilogue with today's stats (I sure hope there are more than thirteen women now!) #harpercollins #karlakuskin #marcsimont #thephilharmonicgetsdressed #kidlit https://www.instagram.com/p/B_199riHEvO/?igshid=1papkqk8m3j65

The original Nate the Great, by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat (1972) was the first detective story I ever loved. The writing was like nothing I'd encountered before (I now recognise it as a hilariously "noir" style common in adult detective stories), and the characters, like Nate himself and the wonderfully enigmatic Rosamond (whom I adored) kept my interest at all times. And Marc Simont's illustrations (later taken over by Martha Weston and Jody Wheeler) were SO PERFECT! With 29 Nate books in print, all the way up to 2019, this is a series worth introducing to your kids! So much great reading to be had! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #natethegreat #marjorieweinmansharmat #marcsimont #marthaweston #dellyearling #cowardmccannandgeoghegan #gpputnamssons #detectivestory #detectivestories #childrensmysterybooks #mysterybooksforkids #detectivebooksforkids #detectivebooks #curious #curiouskids #booknerd #read #mustread #readeveryday #earlyreaders #earlyreader #earlyreading #childrensbook #kidsofcolor #diversityinbooks #diversekidsbooks #readtoyourkids #childrenslit #childrensbookseries #bestofbookworms https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8x0t_HHAl/?igshid=143w77jmycza1

#ohwhatfunreadathon #photochallenge Day 1: A fast read 13 Clocks by James Thurber, illustrated by Marc Simont. To quote the introduction by Neil Gaiman: "'The 13 Clocks' isn't really a fairy tale, just as it isn't really a ghost story. But it feels like a fairy tale, and it takes place in a fairy-tale world. It is short -- not too short, just perfectly short. Short enough. ... It's not a fairy tale. It's not a poem, it's not a parable or a fable or a novel or a joke. Truly, I don't know what 'The 13 Clocks' is, but whatever it is, as someone else said of something else at the top of this introduction, it's the only one there ever was." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ #the13clocks #jamesthurber #marcsimont #neilgaiman #books @ohwhatfunreadathon https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgKjAwFB27/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jodm36eshlhc

❤I love finding a StoryWalk! What a great way to integrate physical movement into story time! For those who have never heard of it - "StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for children — and adults! — to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. Laminated pages from a children's book are attached to wooden stakes, which are installed along an outdoor path. As you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story." You can Google story walks near you but heads up that's not always reliable- I usually just stumble upon them, lol. I think I'm going to try to set one up in my neighborhood park this summer! Now to think of a book to use - Any suggestions? 🌲🌳This picture is from a book titled A tree is Nice written by Janice May Udry and Illustrated by Marc Simont. Published in 1956.
