Description

In this hilarious installment in the Spanish-forward Skeletown series, will Skully and Skelly get up to mas or menos mischief this time around?

Fall is in the air in the Dia de los Muertos-inspired world of Skeletown! Skully and Skelly are raking leaves and trekking to school amid the brisk autumn wind, so it's time to cozy up with a big sweater that Abuela just knitted-that is, until their cat Lulu grabs the yarn and begins unraveling it, leading the crew on a wild chase through the busy streets of Skeletown, in this exciting story told using only two words!

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!

Critic Reviews

Praise for Skeletown: S�. �No!:

A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2023

"The sublime, repeated juxtaposition of S� and No offers wacky, surprising moments of levity, and it all comes together for a charming ending. A spectacular day in Skeletown." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Good-natured, bustling cartooning reveals lots to laugh about in a friendly concept book that's overwhelmingly a 'S�.'" --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An interactive read-aloud story that helps teach children how to build healthy friendships and other life lessons." --School Library Journal

"Prereaders will have fun interpreting the reason behind each s� and no, and the final pages turn the plot toward the importance of collaboration and friendship--and, of course, a little mischief, too." --Booklist

"The text demonstrated a range of meanings for 's�' and 'no' (the only two words in the book) with black, white, and blood orange images that are jam-packed with friendly skeleton details." --Horn Book
