Turning a funeral home into a just plain home does have it's
consequences, as young readers of "Even the Dead Get Up For
Milk" will soon find out, following a young boy as he sees a family
that is not his own and not apparently of the living sitting at his
kitchen table drinking warm milk. Written in both English and Spanish,
it will not only entertain young readers, it will educate them as they
pick up the words from the language right under their own on every page,
even the front and back covers. Beautifully illustrated in pencil,
"Even the Dead Get Up For Milk" is highly recommended for
children's picture book shelves everywhere.
