Clatter Bash!: A Day of the Dead Celebration

Clatter Bash!: A Day of the Dead Celebration

Graveyard skeletons shake, rattle, and roll for a Day of the Dead celebration.
At dusk on the holiday known as Day of the Dead, a Mexican family has set out fiesta offerings in the graveyard in hopes that departed loved ones may return to visit. The playful skeletons rise from their graves to celebrate with gusto. All night long, they sing, dance, dine, tell stories, and play games. As morning approaches, they give thanks to the stars for their night of fun, tidy up after themselves, and leave no trace of their â‚¬Å“clatter bashâ‚¬Â behind as they return to their coffins until next yearâ‚¬s Day of the Dead.
Author-illustrator Richard Keepâ‚¬s rollicking rhymeâ‚¬â€¢sprinkled with Spanish wordsâ‚¬â€¢captures the bone-rattling sounds and fun of the evening. An illustrated afterword gives information about the customs associated with el DÂa de los Muertos, a Mexican celebration of honoring relatives who have passed on.
