by Benjamin Barnett

This is a children’s alphabet book that features the el dia de los muertos or the day of the dead in Mexico. Jeanette Winter has featured colorful and fun illustrations of the Mexican folk art into one book. She also highlighted short stories about the preparations for the day of the dead by using the Spanish alphabet. Artworks that emphasized the pastel clothing and scenery set against black backgrounds and bright white skeletons are found in the book as part of the Mexican festivity.

This is a very unique book for children because it is educational and at the same time entertaining. The story that surrounds the family of Don Pedro is introduced by using the alphabet. It is actually a one of a kind book which has a different approach of introducing the day of the dead to the people. With its 48 pages, you will get to lean a lot about the festival, and family ties, and whole Mexican tradition on this annual celebration. And the most interesting part is that this approach is intended for children.

I encourage parents to buy this book for their children because of its dual purpose, learning the ABCs and the Mexican celebration of the day of the dead. You can also buy this book as a present for your children because they will definitely enjoy the colorful illustrations while learning the alphabet.
