(3) K-3 Illustrated by Poly Bernatene. Skeleton boy Angelito is dreading the Day of the Dead, which requires him to "walk among the Living"--scary stuff. This book is well worth the energy required to negotiate its jam-packed pages, which feature a friendship built on a misunderstanding, Addams Family–type humor, a lesson in prejudice, an introduction to the Mexican holiday, and scare-free illustrations.
