This is how the story begins. On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town. In the dark dark town there was a dark dark street . . . This frightfully funny Halloween classic tells the story of three skeletons—a big skeleton, a little skeleton, and a dog skeleton—who venture out of their cellar one night to find someone to scare, only to find that everyone is in bed. Who will they scare now?! Review: this book has now made 3 generations of my family happy - got this for my moms bday since she now has a grandchild and it was one of our favorites when I was growing up. still love it and she was very happy. I highly recommend for all little ones who like spooky ish things like me and now my daughter Review: A classic book, excellent for new readers (and for being read to!) - Had this book when I was a kid, donated many many years ago. Glad to see that it was back in print, and unchanged in artwork or wording (it happens from time to time). Repetitive sentence structure works for the new reader, we practice changing the tone to make it more entertaining. The story of a family of skeletons wandering out at night, with silly, not scary hijinks. Didn't know there was a series, will look to buy!

Such a fun story.
This was one of my favorite books as a kid and I’m so glad after ordering it to see that it still holds up. It’s silly, fun and a little weird. So perfect.

Such a Cute Book!
I read this book as a child and it became one of my favorites. I was recently reminded of it, so I decided to search for it and found it on Amazon. Unfortunately, there was some kind of delay with the package but I did finally receive it in the end. The book arrived brand new, as described, and in perfect condition. And the story was still as good as it was over 20 years ago.

Good condition
Good condition as advertised on Amazon. Not mint condition but clean, not torn or worn. A book that has been read before but looked after. Funnybones (Picture Puffins)

A funny story about skeletons and their bones
I read this book to my son 25 years ago. He loved it so much he asked me to read it to him every night. I have to say I was glad when he stopped asking for this story. My son has a son now, so I couldn't resist buying this book for him to read to our Grandson. It is a cute story,

Fun book to read
I loved this book when I was little and glad I found it for my kid. It’s her favorite ‘halloween’ type book to read. She loves the dark dark stair case, dark dark street etc....she loves saying it out loud with me when we read it. Great book!

Divertido, gracioso y llamativo
Adquirí este libro con tapa blanda e incluyendo CD. El libro tiene unas veinte hojas ilustradas a color, y con texto cuya letra es bastante grande, se lee con facilidad. La historia es bastante divertida. Tres esqueletos, un adulto, un niño, y un perro. Salen de su castillo y se van a asustar a la gente. El perro sufre un percance y sus huesos se desmoronan. Sus amigos los vuelven a montar, pero no lo hacen bien y resulta un perro muy divertido. Una vez solucionado el problema cómo se encontraran con otros esqueletos de animales. Las ilustraciones son muy divertidas, muy llamativas. El texto juega algo con la rima y la repetición. Hay palabras que se repiten varias veces, por lo que se facilita su comprensión y aprendizaje. El CD es sencillo, tiene únicamente 2 pistas. En la primera pista se lee el libro, con efectos de sonido. La segunda pista es la misma pero se añade un sonido especial para indicar cuándo se debe pasar la página. Está muy bien para que los niños lean a la vez que escuchen, y así aprendan a pronunciar perfectamente. Aunque el libro es en tapa blanda, es muy resistente, tanto las tapas cómo las hojas, son bastante gruesas y de buena calidad. Perfecto para cualquier comento y especialmente para Halloween! Os dejo alguna foto y video. Espero que os ayude nuestra experiencia.
