Great for beginning non-native Spanish learners but can be used for learning English, too. Senor Calavera must get to Grandma Beetle's birthday in time, but he can't find the right gift. He searches through the alphabet with the help of Zelmiro the ghost. The end is a little weird because he ends up bringing Grandpa Zelmiro and the grandchildren are all happy. Not good for children who are trying to cope with the death of a close family member.
