Translated by John William Byrd.
A poem about the Day of the Dead (in both Spanish and in awkwardly translated English) is followed by some information about this Mexican holiday, directions for building an altar, and two holiday-related recipes. The festive illustrations, depicting dancing skeletons, enhance the design of this rather slight offering.
