Mis nietos - Level 1 - Spanish Reader by Paula Twomey

Mis nietos brings back two competitive coati cousins, Carlos and Marco. When their Abuela Inés invites them to spend el Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca with her, they are eager to learn the history and symbolism of this special day. As they shop for the traditional items—pan de muertos, copal, flores de cempasúchil, papel picado, calaveras, and velas—they marvel at the street tapetes, the mojigangas, and the delicious nicuatole associated with Day of the Dead in Oaxaca. Abuela Inés and her nietos decorate an ofrenda in the local cemetery to commemorate deceased family members. Carlos and Marco discover some family secrets from the past which make for a delightful twist at the end. Level 1 Unique words: 246 Total words: 1,189 Tenses: presente, pretérito Glossary: Yes ©2025.
