Adela ama todo sobre la banda mariachi de su familia, ¡excepto que ella no forma parte de la banda! Poniendo un foco de atención en la música mexicana, llena de instrumentos y bailes, ¡La banda de Adela seguramente será un éxito!

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 Band is sure to be a hit!

Adela no desea nada más que ser parte de la banda mariachi de su familia, pero cuando intenta tocar los diferentes instrumentos, todo sale mal. La trompeta hace un ruido extraño, la vihuela emite un ruido agudo y desagradable, y cuando intenta bailar, Adela se cae al suelo. Observando a su familia, Adela sabe que la práctica hace al maestro, ¿pero podrá encontrar una manera de ser parte de la banda en el entretanto?

Contado en una estructura repetitiva y divertida, ¡este libro ilustrado rítmico incorpora divertidos sonidos de instrumentos y vocabulario en español!

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 rythmic text, and Spanish vocabulary. Strike up the band!
