In this wonderful tale of supernatural creatures gathering for a monsters’ ball, Marisa Montes incorporates Spanish vocabulary into poetic narrative. Las brujas (witches) on their broomsticks, mummies, vampires, ghosts, los gatos (cats) black, and zombies all show up in this eerie delight! Students will easily decipher the Spanish from context clues as they read the rhymes aloud. A glossary in the back is also provided to help reinforce the Spanish vocabulary. Eerily beautiful illustrations feature the Mexican holiday, Day Of The Dead. A fun twist at the end of this story makes this Halloween read-aloud a real scream!
