Text in Spanish and English. "Skeleton-like characters inspired by Dia de los Muertos engage in 'good' and 'bad' behavior in a humorous exploration of opposites"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
Say "SI!" to a fresh, funny, Spanish-forward picture book series set in Skeletown--a cheerful, vibrant world filled with Di?a de los Muertos-inspired characters! Spend the day with Skully and Skelly as they learn what to say "yes" and "no" to! With the clever use of just two words--si and no--throughout the whole book, a sequence of hilarious gags leads to mischief, chaos, and ultimately friendships soaring to new heights! At first, cautious Skelly reins in Skully's antics, but after they arrive at a friend's birthday party and the games start heating up, Skelly finally comes out of her sugar-skull shell and reveals that there's a hankering for adventure in her after all! With dynamic, neon art that pops off the pages, a completely unique approach to storytelling, and a wildly appealing (but not scary!) cast of calavera characters from the fantastical world of Skeletown, here's a rambunctious romp that will inspire giggles with Spanish and English readers alike! Di "SI!" a una serie de libros ilustrados, originales y divertidos, con solo dos palabras en espanol basados en el mundo de Skeletown, un mundo alegre y lleno de color con personajes inspirados en el Dia de los Muertos. Pasa el dia con Skully y Skelly mientras aprenden a decir "si" y "no"! Con el uso inteligente de solo dos palabras, si y no, esta historia es accesible tanto para hispanos como anglos. Vive junto con Skully y Skelly una secuencia de bromas divertidisimas. Al principio, la cautelosa Skelly controla las travesuras de Skully, pero despues de que llegan a la fiesta de cumpleanos de una amiga, los juegos empiezan a levantar el espiritu aventurero. Desearas acompanarlos en cada momento de esta maravillosa historia. Ademas, te encantaran los colores neon que sobresalen en cada una de las ilustraciones. Tendras acceso a un mundo fantastico con personajes de calavera, (que no dan miedo!). Skeletown es un mundo fantastico que atrapara tu atencion, te sacara risas y hara volar tu imaginacion.
