This is such a wonderful little book. Perfect for helping the littles learn to count and tell time. Would be a great book to read with them around halloween. Also the illustrations are beautifully done.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is such a lovely book! My little one and I really enjoyed it. The pictures are beautifully done. The pages have pages within which keep giving.

This book would help children count and tell time in a fun way.

This book was absolutely adorable! It uses Dia de Los Muetros (Day of the Dead) to illustrate how numbers work and how to tell time. There is also a link to a song in both Spanish and English to help with learning how to count.

Another gem from author Susie Jaramillo! In this one, Jaramillo adapts the Mexican classic “Los esqueletos salen de la tumba” into English, keeping the clock striking and illustrating the book with black-and-white pictures inspired by the great José Guadalupe Posada, the man who gave the world La Catrina, patron saint of the Day of the Dead. What a joy to read! And what a beautiful introduction for those unfamiliar with El día de los muertos!

I loved her Little Chickies / Los Pollitos! I love this one even more! Highly, highly recommended.

A cute and fun book to help children learn to count and become used to clock faces. I enjoyed the drawings, as they become busier as numbers go up, they become the kind of pictures that allowed my imagination to run wild when I was young, making up connections and stories.

What fun! Skeletitos is such a cute rhyming fall read, perfect for October and Dia de los Muertos! It's great for children to learn their numbers, too, with each ticking of the clock. Each page has wonderfully detailed illustrations that have a spooky, celebratory feel to them.

Thank you to NetGalley and Encantos Media Studios for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book with my six year old daughter. We loved the pictures, but we couldn’t get into the song/story. It really didn’t have a good flow.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the arc for my honest review!

A great take on a time telling story for children. I love how it is laid out: the illustrated clock, the rhyming story, the skeleton illustration to match. The illustrations are creative and detailed enough to draw the children in to examine it more. My young niece and nephew very much enjoyed this book when I read it to them!

I really enjoyed this graphic novel because of its art style and entrenching plot. I would highly recommend this to fans of picture books and odd, interesting stories.

This was a super cute children’s book that would be a perfect gift for Halloween or Dia de los Muertos. The book counts from 1 to 12 with cute rhymes about what skeletons do each hour, and is both funny and spooky. My two year old would love it!

We seriously cannot wait to get a a hard copy of this book. It seems like a book that we will appreciate more in person than digitally.

The illustrations are amazing. The storyline is unique and fun.

I chose to read Skeletitos because the illustrations drew me in. I grew up in Texas and have always thought sugar skulls were beautiful. The illustrations and fun song make this a great read aloud that could launch a conversation with young children about Dia de Los Muertos.

Skeletitos is an adorable counting book for children. It has stylish and beautiful images full of contrast that is good for young eyes learning to read. It also includes visuals of clocks to assist with learning time for older children. I absolutely adore this book and would definitely purchase a hard copy for my own children or friend's children.

Cute artwork. I really wanted to like this one. The rhymes are just too clunky. Three — backwards flee? Maybe it’s better in Spanish, but the rhythm is just off. Of course, I can’t hear the music. Illustrations 4, writing 2. 3 stars.

Cute! Cute! Cute! Great addition to any Day of the Dead activities! But wait... there’s more! Students will be intrigued and delighted with the illustrations and learn essential counting and clock skills as they go along!
