Funnybones

Product Information

In the first ever Funnybones book, we are introduced to the wonderful humour and fun of the much-loved series. Told in such a humorous and charming way with repetitive rhythms and funny illustrations, it's easy to see why it made such a lasting impression on me. A BBC video, entitled, Funnybones – Bumps in the Night (Cat. No. BBCV 4871), which contained all twelve episodes, was released soon after the series ended, but this is now out of print. The VHS tape was also released in Bulgaria and Australia, respectively by the companies Proxima Entertainment and ABC Video (but in the former case, it was dubbed into Bulgarian). When The Big Skeleton and The Little Skeleton become fed up with The Dog Skeleton they decide to swap him at the pet shop! A special edition of this classic picture book to celebrate its 40th anniversary - with a glow-in-the-dark cover!

The Ahlbergs' funny and classic Happy Families story is now available in a larger format and is ideal for newly independent readers It's such a fun quirky tale as both big and little skeleton decided to see if they can scare someone whilst taking dog skeleton for a night time walk. Funnybones: Skeleton Crew - "Zzz!" The three skeletons enjoy a holiday on their little boat. But what happens when a PIRATE comes aboard? But during the dark, dark night, the skeletons like to come out to play… in the park, in the zoo and even all the way home, singing songs and scaring each other.The author uses ‘word repetition’ throughout the book to make it enjoyable to the reader and also to make it humorous. A song is also included in the book, and I remember as a child reading the book over and over again and singing along out loud! But everyone in the town is in bed, and in the end, they still haven’t frightened anybody. So the little skeleton suggests that they frighten each other instead. One night the skeletons decide to take their dog for a walk and frighten somebody. That's what skeletons are supposed to do, right? So off they go.
