Publisher Comments:

Every year Don Pedro and his family make papier-mache skeletons, or calaveras, for Mexico's Day of the Dead fiesta. From Angel and Doctor to Mariachi and Unicornio, each letter of the alphabet has its own special calavera.

Come dance with them in this unusual ABC book inspired by a real Mexican family of artists and the many colorful folk-art traditions surrounding the celebration of the Day of the Dead.

Includes a glossary of Spanish words and an author's note.

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!
