Tito Puente Mambo King by Rafael López - - ADVISABLE


López, Rafael Tito Puente Mambo King PICTUREBOOK 32 pgs. HarperCollins 2013. $17.99. 

Even as a baby, Tito Puente liked to bang pots and spoons to make music.  By the time he was grown, he had formed a band and became the Mambo King.  

This bilingual picturebook biography is very colorful, with huge vibrant illustrations.  Told in both Spanish and English, a child is introduced to the sounds, the rhythms, the instruments and the MAMBO.  EL  (K-3) - ADVISABLE Lisa Librarian
