Description
Señor Calavera is back again and ready to celebrate Grandma Beetle’s birthday. Since Mexican etiquette requires that a guest never attends a cumpleaños empty-handed, our poor friend must find the perfect gift. But, what does Grandma Beetle really want for her birthday? Readers follow Señor Calavera as he collects a series of regalitos, each representative of the twenty nine letters of the Spanish alphabet, until he ultimately finds the present that Grandma Beetle loves the most. Morales’ vibrantly-hued illustrations include layers of meaning imbued with cultural content and literary allusions. Many of the images in the Mexican Lotería cards on the endpapers are hidden within the pages of the humorous tale and little details, peppered throughout the illustrations, draw readers back to the pages again and again. Truly this is a visual fiesta that will have readers returning again and again “just in case” they missed something in Morales’ well-crafted illustrations. (gr K-4)
