Review Quotes
"Day of the Dead: A Count & Find Primer by Greg Paprocki is a brightly colored look at Día de Muertos festivities with some added educational content to boot.
Each double-page spread in this striking book contains a beautiful scene where people prepare for and celebrate this important holiday.
A page at the end explains the significance of each item in clear and easy to understand language. As someone who has never celebrated this holiday, I found this simple guide very helpful in understanding more about Día de Muertos.
Day of the Dead: A Count & Find Primer reflects that Día de Muertos is truly a celebration, using bright colors and smiling characters throughout, not the typical somber colors associated with death and mourning. This is a great book not only to introduce basic counting, but also cultural practices that may be different from your own."
