Just in time for Dia!
A sequel of sorts to Just a Minute, which I actually prefer.

Senor Calavera is once again heading to Grandma Beetle's birthday party, and the ghost Zelmiro is helping him choose a last-minute gift (he forgot that gifts were customary). Calavera works his way through the alphabet picking sometimes very good gifts (instrucciones "to find all things lost"), sometimes less good ("un kilo" is actually just that - a just-over-two-pounds weight), and sometimes just peculiar (Niebla; fog, and W; because two Vs are just not going to cut it) until he gets to Y, and he's done. Surely Grandma will like something, and besides, he's running late for the party now! He hurries on his bicycle but crashes and falls, and now he needs just one more present, perhaps something starting with Z...
It's cute, but the alphabet bits make it difficult for storytime. I do Halloween/Dia only once a year (sadly) so I should be fine sticking with the original.
