[Kaye · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super cute illustrations, this bilingual story of skeletons coming out to play is a counting book that translates well in both Spanish and English. My Spanish skills are really just in the beginning stages, but I understood most things, and what I didn't know right away, I could pick up from the illustrations, and then read the English for more clarity (although the Spanish and English verses varied somewhat in content.)

Some of the English translations are a bit off, but a delightful counting book overall.
