COMES WITH A BONUS “TIMBER! TALKING BOOK” AUDIO SOUNDTRACK
When a ghostly T-rex (and friends) appear early for the Day of the Dead party, havoc breaks out in the village as colorful sugar skulls begin to vanish one-by-one.In this lively Halloween read-aloud picture book, 10 grinning sugar skulls are happily preparing for the Day of the Dead celebration by weaving flower vines, leaving sweetbreads at the gate, making sand paintings in the streets, hanging paper banners in the trees and more.
But something is not right.
10 grinning sugar skulls
weaving flowers on a vine.
A ghostly T-rex passes by
and–POOF!–the skulls are down to…
With each turn of the page another dinosaur sweeps in and another sugar skull goes missing.
Where are the sugar skulls going? Which one is next? And as the sun goes down, do the families dare follow the flower petals leading to the park in dark?
PICTURE BOOK + AUDIO BOOK!
This “TIMBER! Talking Book” is professionally narrated in a delightfully sinister voice against an eerie musical soundtrack along with a simple “swoosh” that tells when to turn the page. Every child will find their favorite dinosaurs on these boldly illustrated scenes—from T-rex, stegosaurus and pteranodon, to velociraptor, apatosaurus, triceratops, allosaurus and more–including giganotosaurus made popular by Jurassic World Dominion.
A fun Halloween caper, children can hear it again and again with a click of the included QR code. The easy rhyming pattern and visual clues help children predict which sugar skull will disappear next and how many will remain…until there are none.
In addition to being a ghostly entertaining tale, the included Afterword offers cultural insights on how the traditional Day of the Dead activities in the story are performed in Mexico and around the world. Each activity is a way to honor family and loved ones who no longer walk this Earth.
