Funnybones is both wonderfully entertaining and also hugely instructive for children learning to read

The first in the Funnybones series, this light-hearted and educational book introduces an endearing family of skeletons that includes a big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton. One night they decide to find someone to frighten, but everyone seems to be asleep so they amuse themselves by scaring each other and messing around with the animal skeletons in the zoo.Using the repetition of words – the skeletons live in a dark dark cellar, in a dark dark house – Funnybones is both wonderfully entertaining and also hugely instructive for children learning to read.
