Los Gatos Black on Halloween

My first reaction to this book was that it might kind of scare kids when they read it. However, at first glance I knew that the artwork in the book was amazing. After reading the book again I decided that it would be more appropriate for children in higher grades than those in perhaps kindergarten. The book would be great to go along with a lesson about dia de muertos!!

I agree with the artwork also Carmen. The pictures are big and dark. I think they do look a little scary but I think it is still a good book to read to some students. Amanda J.

I used this book in a read-a-loud lesson with first graders and the pictures didn't seem to scare them. The class got really excited about the Spanish words. I'd recommend it.
