Synopses

Funnybones

The first Funnybones book introduces the humour and tone of this much-loved series. The skeletons are presented as playful rather than frightening, with a style designed to feel welcoming for children.

According to the source, the Funnybones books are aimed at children who are beginning to learn to read.

Ghost Train

Set against the familiar “dark dark” backdrop of the series, this instalment follows the three skeletons as they board a ghost train at midnight. A spooky ride unfolds, ending with a discovery that feels even scarier.

Described as brightly coloured, it is positioned as suitable for early readers.

The Black Cat

This title forms part of the Funnybones series of children’s picture books about skeletons. Although it is set in a dark dark house, it is described as brightly coloured and intended for early readers.

The Pet Shop

In this story, a dog skeleton is considered a boring pet, prompting the two skeletons to visit a pet shop to swap him for something else. The text highlights the lively, comic atmosphere with animal sounds along the way.

It is presented as a brightly coloured picture book for early readers.

Bumps in the Night

No matter where they are, the two skeletons keep “bumping in the night”, with the source emphasising the repeated clonk of their nocturnal mishaps. The setting continues the series’ dark dark house mood while keeping the tone light.

As with the other titles, it is described as suitable for early readers.
