Huesos (Bilingual English/Spanish)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Introduce your little ones in both English and Spanish to the strong bond between a human and their pet and how one passing away will never tear them apart!

Huesos is abuelo's four-legged travieso, a rambunctious troublemaker with a constant ball of energy and a big bite. Nothing and no one is safe from Huesos' mischief and chomping teeth, from grandpa's slippers to the neighborhood's mailman. Until one day, Calaca Pascuala knocks on his door and takes him on a journey through the afterworld. But even there, Huesos can't contain himself. Will he be able to knock, tumble, and chew his way back to grandpa, or will he begin to create new forms of chaos from beyond the grave?

Written in Calavera literaria, or literary calavera, an often satirical or light-hearted type of writing that is very popular during Día de Muertos celebrations, this book will take you on an adventure with Huesos that'll have you barking with laughter!


¡Preséntale a tus pequeños, tanto en inglés como en español, el fuerte vínculo entre un ser humano y su mascota y cómo una muerte nunca los separará!

Huesos es el travieso de cuatro patas del abuelo, un alborotador revoltoso con una bola de energía constante y un gran mordisco. Nada ni nadie está a salvo de las travesuras y mordiscos de los Huesos, desde las zapatillas del abuelo hasta el cartero del barrio. Hasta que un día Calaca Pascuala llama a su puerta y lo lleva de viaje al más allá. Pero ni siquiera ahí Huesos puede contenerse. ¿Podrá golpear, dar vueltas y masticar hasta llegar al abuelo, o comenzará a crear nuevas formas de caos desde más allá de la tumba?

Escrito en Calavera literaria, un tipo de escritura a menudo satírica o alegre que es muy popular durante las celebraciones del Día de Muertos, este libro te llevará a una aventura con Huesos que te hará reír a carcajadas.
