5.0 out of 5 stars
A wild interpretation of a revered Latin holiday,
This review is from: Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
El dia del los muertos was just about skulls and skeletons for me before seeing this book. Not only is it a visual hoot (the skeletal characters have names that, believe it or not, are authentic to the holiday), but there are the coolest add-ons: a large sticker sheet with a host of skeletons in different situations and plying a host of trades. The bi-lingual captions added a smattering of Spanish to my vocabulary, and I was somewhat astounded to learn that the artist is actually a Chinese-American. But then, I noted that she had done a book of voodoo paper dolls (supply your own pins) that are equally authentic to bayou culture. Here's a practicing ethnologist working in the medium of paper dolls! Who could have imagined. Highly recommended. Buy one to cut and another for your collection. Sure to start a conversation over margaritas!

This review is from: Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
I love these dolls! The vivid and colorful outfits cover a wide range of Mexican fashions, both historical and more contemporary. Since I am fond of both Día de los Muertos and paper dolls, this was a very exciting find! The beautiful designs went beyond my expectations and I have actually enjoyed sitting and cutting them out.
