Such a cute book, and a great way to learn your spanish alphabet! The drawings are great and this book is perfect for kids, but a great addition to anyone's day of the dead collection. Each word has a couple sentences explaining it complete with iconic drawings of skeletons in Mexican garb or participating in Mexican traditions. This is an adorable history lesson!
