Book Description: Tito Puente loved banging pots and pans as a child, but what he really dreamed of was having his own band one day. This is a the true life story of a boy whose passion for music turned him into the "King of Mambo."
Integrated Idea: Make a song as a class using pots and pans and other useful items as instruments as Tito did! Write a short paragraph (2 or 3 sentences) and describe how important music is. Listen to some of Tito's real music in class while they write their paragraph.
