Funny bones book review

October 30, 2007 – 9:28 pm

This book is one of my old time favourites, now having recently moved
house i had to dig in the loft.. and discovered i still have several books
from when i was in primsry school… !

Funny Bones was the first book i bought as a child from the schools
‘book club’ i think it cost around £3 in 1989-1990!

Its the storey of a daddy skeleton, a mammy and a doggy skeleton who
all live in a cellar, up dark dark stairs.. in the dark dark house, down a
dark dark steet, and a dark dark town !

They wait until night time when they appear and wanting fun they leave
the house.. and go to the park.. they take the dog with them a play catch,
but the dog hits a tree and smashes into a pile of bones.. so as some of
you might remember follows the funny piecing ryhme.. ‘the foot bones
connected to the.. the thigh bones connected to the … the and so on and so on’
and they put him together wrong a few funny times first.. and when they
have him back together they go to scare people, but as its night time no ones
out! So they play silly tricks on each other before returning back up their
dark dark street.. to their dark dark house, up their dark dark stairs… to
their dark dark cellar where they live!

My copy is a little shabby now, but ive given it my chloe, and she
practically knows it word for word as she has wanted me to read it to
her hundreds of times!!

A very fun book for a young child, id recommend it
