Beto and the Bone Dance

I originally picked up a copy of this book on loan from our public library. My daughter fell in love with this story of a young boy and his family getting ready for the yearly celebration of Dia De Los Muertos with this year being special because Beto is searching high and low for something unique and all his own to put on his recently passed grandmother's altar. It is fun following Beto around in this cute and "spooky" story full of skeletons, special decorations, and foods. The end is sweet because Beto finally realizes the most special thing his grandmother loved the most that he can add to her altar.

This book is so wonderful! It will be a great way to introduce spanish culture and customs. This book is about The day of the dead-Halloween and what they do for it. The pictures are very vibrant and beautiful. This is a wonderful story of a little boy who tries to find the perfect thing to put on his grandmother's alter to remember her.
