Celebrate El Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, with a young girl and her family in this Step 2 reader--perfect for young readers who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help!

It's the Day of the Dead, and time for a little girl's family to set up their ofrenda. This year, she wants to add pizza to their offering! Her brother likes that idea, and asks to add ice cream as well! Unfortunately for them, their parents only want to include tamales, in keeping with the old ways. But when Grandma comes over and mentions her late friend--one she is honoring this year on Day of the Dead--didn't like tamales as much as she liked pizza and ice cream, the family must decide together whether it may be time to start a new tradition, one that honors old ways and new.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
