From J. Kaye's Book Blog

In Mexico, The Day of the Dead or El Día de los Muertos is a holiday to pay homage to friends and family members who have died. Keep's book, CLATTER BASH! A DAY OF THE DEAD CELEBRATION breaks this holiday down to an easy to understand level with festive illustrations that are non-threatening. Who knew skeletons could bring a smile? In the back, parents and educators will find a more detailed explanation about what happens in Mexico during The Day of the Dead. Spanish words are sprinkled throughout the book, making this a great introduction to the language.
