This book is about the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, and shows what kind of celebrations and noises that arise during this time of celebration. It is a really great rhyming book and it’s really colorful too.
There is a widow with two daughters and one of the animals she has is a rooster named, Chanticleer. Chanticleer had a beautiful crow that everyone loved to hear, and one of his seven wives had a beautiful crow too. They would sing together in perfect harmony. One day Chanticleer was having a bad dream, so she woke him up and ask what was wrong. He explained to her that he was having a bad dream that a fox came and grabbed him up from the yard. She brushed off the dream and said she could not be in love with someone that was not fearless. The very next day, a fox was waiting for the perfect moment in the herd bushes. Chanticleer so him, the fox gloated about how well he thought Chanticleer could sing, so he started to sing for the fox and then he was grabbed up. The fox took off and everyone, the widow, her daughter, the sheeps, and all the other animals, took off after the fox. When Chanticleer asked the fox a question he answered and this is when Chanticleer escaped from the foxes mouth. The lesson is that you cannot trust in flattery.
