About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to express curiosity or slight anxiety about what goes on in the dark or how their own body works. It is the perfect antidote to 'scary' bedtime monsters by reimagining skeletons as cheerful, slightly clumsy characters who love to play, walk their dog, and tell jokes. It turns a potentially frightening concept into a source of laughter and comfort. The story follows a big skeleton, a little skeleton, and a dog skeleton on a midnight stroll through a dark town. Rather than haunting people, they spend their time trying to find someone to scare but eventually end up just scaring each other for fun. With its rhythmic, repetitive language and bright illustrations against black backgrounds, it is ideal for ages 3 to 7. It helps children master their fears through humor while building their vocabulary with its iconic, catchy phrasing.
