  This is a cute early chapter book for girls. Sofia is the main character and she tends to get herself into trouble, fortunately nothing major. There are three separate stories in this book. In the first she receives a karaoke type machine for Christmas from her grandmother. Her family does not appreciate her loud repetitious singing and after being sent to her cousin's and her grandmother's houses she ends up on the street singing for the dogs. In the second story she tries to help her grandmother make a special dish. She ends up putting salt in instead of sugar and ruins the recipe. When she realizes what happens, her mother and her make a new one and plan to switch it with the one that she and her grandmother made. Her grandmother realizes the mistake as well and has already made a new dish. The third story is about doing chores. Sofia does not want to clean in the house so her father lets her wash the car instead. Sofia and her cousin Hector start fooling around and break the mirror on the car and flood her mother's garden. With the help of her sisters she fixes the garden and her father shows her that the mirror is not broken, just folded back. The great thing about all these stories is that Sofia always admits what she has done and works with her family to fix the problem. The family is very involved with one another and very loving. There are a variety of Spanish words used in the book and there is a glossary at the back explaining the vocabulary. A great book for school and public libraries.
  
  I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
