Further adventures of the famous Funnybones skeletons will be welcomed in very Infant classroom. Few beginner readers can resist the sheer silliness of these stories and few teachers can resist the brilliance with which Allan Ahlberg writes stories which are full of repetition, so easy to read and yet are quirky, witty and original.
The Mystery Tour tells of the skeletons' night out ('What's a Mystery tour?' 'I can't tell you; it's a mystery!') and includes a simple, entertaining guessing game. The Black Cat is based on the idea of the black cat in a coal hole ... but what about a white skeleton in the snow?
Highly recommended - as you'd expect - for all early readers and listeners.
