Zaid's Reviews > Funnybones

The story begins with lines that we are all familiar with. ‘On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town. In the dark dark town there was a dark dark street…’
The series centre around the characters big skeleton, small skeleton and dog skeleton, and in the first of this series, ‘Funnybones’, we follow the characters as they decide to go out at night to ‘frighten somebody’. They find themselves in the park where they play. After throwing a stick for dog skeleton they find he has ended up as a pile of bones after bumping into a tree. After deciding to put dog back together, and singing a famous song about bones as they do, they get the bones mixed up. After finally putting dog back together they remember the purpose of the night was to frighten somebody, but by this time everyone else was in bed! Only one thing left to do…frighten eachother all the way home.
This picture book series has good grammatical content making it a great support for home school reading for KS1 children.
