Book Review: Practice Makes (Almost) Perfect by Hannah Carmona

 

Blurb: 

Maria and Mateo are eager to start rehearsals for the school play. But it turns out there is much more to putting on a play than beautiful costumes and adoring fans. It takes sharing the spotlight, learning lines, and practicing difficult dance moves–and not all of those tasks are easy or fun. Can the cousins put in the work to make a crowd-pleasing performance?

Theater kids Maria and Mateo are two talented second graders who love the spotlight. But they soon find that theater is not only fun–it can also teach important life lessons. Join these high-spirited cousins as they learn how to improvise through life’s plot twists to shine both onstage and off.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this story. It was a quick read, and I loved the idea of the questions at the back. Maria and Mateo wanted to act, but they were more focused on the costumes they would wear. Their lesson came from the teacher and an older participant when they struggled with dancing and their lines. This would be a great book for elementary children so they can learn about why practicing is important.

I received a copy through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
