Funnybones: Skeleton Crew
Illustrated by André Amstutz
Funnybones: The Ghost Train
Illustrated by André Amstutz
As you'd expect, brilliant exceptions to the usual law of diminishing returns is provided by these two additions to the 'Funnybones' series. Full of invention and wit, they give beginning readers and the adults who support them every reason to read and be read to. I hope you can all remember the tune of 'The Run Away Train' and, even if you don't believe in ghosts, that you believe in babies, since both attributes are needed for The Ghost Train. Skeleton Crew introduces the cat fish ('Miaow') and King Kong alongside the pirate crew. Welcome fun for any infant.
