Adela loves everything about her family's mariachi band--except that she isn't in it!
Shining a spotlight on Mexican music, full of instruments and dancing, Adela's Mariachi Band is sure to be a hit!
Adela wants nothing more than to be a part of her family's mariachi band, but when she tries the different instruments, everything comes out wrong. La trompeta fizzles, la vihuela squeaks, and trying to dance makes Adela fall on her face. From watching her family, Adela knows that practice makes perfect, but can she find a way to be part of the band in the meantime?
A new go-to read-aloud favorite that comes complete with funny instrument sounds, a rhythmic text, and Spanish vocabulary. Strike up the band!
