About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is preparing for their first professional performance or is expressing a budding interest in the performing arts. It is an essential tool for managing the 'new situation' jitters that come with visiting a large, bustling city or a grand theater for the first time. By following siblings Eleanor and Harry, children see the entire process: from the excitement of dressing up and riding the train to the respectful etiquette required during a show. This musical introduction uses sound buttons and interactive pull-out boxes to demystify the theater experience. Beyond the bright lights, the story highlights the importance of family traditions and the multigenerational bond shared with grandparents. It is a joyful, educational resource that builds vocabulary and provides a safe, sensory-friendly preview of what to expect on a big day out in the city.

Sensitive Topics
This is a secular, celebratory, and low-conflict narrative. It briefly touches on the sensory intensity of the city (crowds, noise) but frames it as an exciting adventure.
