Skully's Best Día Ever! by Montijo, Rhode

Come on a rambunctious adventure and explore a vibrant Dí​a de los Muertos-inspired town alongside Skully the skeleton, who sets out on a hilarious quest to have the perfect day!

It's a beautiful day in Skeletown, and Skully has a mission: He is going to have the best. Day. EVER! Inhaling the sweet scents of fresh-baked goodies at the panaderia ... rescuing a gatito from a tree ... and getting the best seat to watch lucha libre. But wherever Skully goes, trouble always follows close behind. Will Skully still find the fun in Skeletown, or will he lose his head?

Rhode Montijo's newest story set in Skeletown offers a fun read-aloud narrative packed with laughs and bold, vibrant colors popping on every page.
