Funnybones

This is a very attractive series including the equally vivacious, unabridged Cops and Robbers and Burglar Bill. Bernard Cribbins is a great narrator with different voices for the Big Skeleton and the Little Skeleton as they sing songs and look, unsuccessfully, for someone to frighten. The sound effects are lively and funny: the jangling of the skeletons, the owl's hooting and the scraping sound as the skeletons scratch their skulls, trying to think of another plan to frighten someone. Side 2 of the cassette is the story for children to follow with the book and the story is read without sound effects with a turn-over tone. Fun and imaginative for 4-8.
