    The Record that Holden bought for Phoebe was "Little Shirely Beans," which was obviously intended for children. Holden buys the reocrd for Phoebe because he wants her to maintain her innocence.  But when he drops the record in the park, it shatters. The shattering of a children's record represents the shattering of innocence. Holden desperately scrambles to pick up the pieces of the record because he is trying to maintain all the innocence he can find.
