Funny Bones!
Last year's Halloween Glow Books were an instant sell-out! So this year we've added three new titles to the series. These board books are extra chunky with clever die-cut shapes and charming rhyming texts. But that's not all! As an added treat, glow-in-the-dark eyes peek out from the first page and through the cover, providing a real touch of Halloween magic for the youngest of trick-or-treaters! These books go fast, though, so don't let the trick be on you!
Clanking and clattering his way down the street, this kooky skeleton is in search of a treat!

it was easy for me. but my mom said i couldn't watch tv until i read a book. so picked the easiest book i could. my mom let me read it but then she said that she was taking off of my bookshelf to make room for books more my age.

I really liked this book. I thought it was cute and funny, but it went above the "heads" of my kiddos, so it was more for the adult entertainment than for its actual intended audience.

Type: fiction
Genre: picture book
Awards: none
Summary: This book is all about two skeletons and their dog that decide to go out to scare people one night, the whole way to the park they are trying to find someone to scare but on one is on the street so they decide to hang out in the park with their dog. One of the skeleton decides to take a rib and start laying fetch with the dog. After a few times throwing the bone for the dog, the dog trips over a rock and falls into a grave stone and falls apart. The two skeleton decide to pick it up and put it back together and after dong so incorrectly a few times including once putting him together backwards, they finally get the dog back but together. Then the skeletons decide to go home and on their way home they will find someone to scare, yet still no one is o the street so they go back into the basement where they live.
Critique: I didn't like the fact that this book didn't really have anything happen except that the dog fell apart, that is all that actually happened other than them just waking down the street, it was really boring and had little to no dimension.
Question: What are you dressing up as for Halloween? do you think it is possible for Skeletons to really stay together like in this book? Do you know we all have skeletons?
Craft Element: I would read this right before Halloween to get everyone in that mind set then I would have us all make skeletons Maybe I would also have them write an alternate ending to the book due to the fact that there is no real excitement in the book.
