Clatter Bash!: A Day of the Dead Celebration

32 pp. | Peachtree | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-56145-322-6 $15.95
(4) K-3 Jaunty skeletons dance across double-page spreads in a colorful collage of cut-paper flowers and outdoor scenery. The Day of the Dead is not mournful, and Keep shows the well-dressed skeletons eating, playing, and making music. While slight, the rhyming words that appear across the bottom of the page echo the Spanish/English onomatopoeic sounds of the day. An afterword describes the Mexican holiday.
