I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA NETGALLEY. THANK YOU.

My Review: A completely adorable board book for the youngest readers. The artwork is charming in the extreme:

...the message of not waiting for life to be perfect to enjoy every minute of it is perfect for little lap readers to take on board with the whimsical art and the cute little story about the skeletitos enjoying Día de los Muertos, so much a part of Hispanic culture...becoming more and more part of US Halloween season festivities!

The counting practice is the other point of appeal to parents. There is also the added appeal of talking to kids about analog time-telling, a skill it grows ever harder to help them acquire. Any little one who loves the fun and cosplay of Halloween is the right reader, or to be read to, for this delightful book.
