Reviews"How can a spooky book about zombies be this warm and bright? I don't know, but kids are going to eat it up." -- Adam Rex, New York Times Bestselling Author-Illustrator * "Tasty and homegrown, this hits a strange and specific trifecta: a lightly bilingual book that feels inclusive not only for Latinx kids, but also for different eaters and for those who aren't afraid of gory, monster-themed humor." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Funny, cartoonish illustrations plant clever details into the scenes, such as a zombified selection of vegetables (e.g., heads of lettuce, ears of corn, artichoke hearts). The Laceras draw upon their own experience as a mixed-race couple to tell an unconventional but utterly relatable story of mixed families and Latin cooking (with a twist)." -- Booklist "This Halloween take on a be-yourself story--with occasional, naturally integrated Spanish--is full of wordplay both in the text ("Holy aioli!") and in the muted digital illustrations ("RIP Juan Moortime," reads a gravestone)." -- The Horn Book Storyline Online Selection - SAG-AFTRA Foundation / Storyline Online Best Books - Kirkus Reviews Black-Eyed Susan Award Winner - Maryland Association of School Librarians Kentucky Bluegrass Award Winner - Kentucky Association of School Librarians Rhode Island Latino Books Award - Rhode Island Latino Arts Tejas Star Reading List 2021-2022 - Texas Library Association (TLA), "How can a spooky book about zombies be this warm and bright?
