The unfailing Ahlberg magic has been at work once again - a familiar rhyme has again been used as the starting point. In this fun-packed offering we meet the occupants of a dark, dark cellar - a big and a little skeleton and a canine one. These immediately engaging characters set out one night in search of somebody to frighten. After a number of abortive attempts which result in a series of moonlit frolics in the park, town and zoo, whom do they find to frighten? Only themselves - all the way home. this one has everything a young listener or reader could possibly wish for including ingenious use of white print against a black background to highlight the mock nightmarishness of the tale.
