Funnybones

Great book for kids

The "Funnybones" book has quickly become a favorite with my toddler. The engaging story and playful illustrations capture their attention and keep them entertained. It's a delightful read that brings plenty of laughs and joy to storytime. If you're looking for a book that will captivate and amuse your little one, "Funnybones" is a fantastic choice!

Funnybones is the instant classic children's story from 1999 written by Janet and Alllan Ahlberg. It is a great funny adventure for young listeners to enjoy. The 32 pages are brilliantly illustrated by Andre Armstutz and capture the excitement of the skeletal trio attempting to have some fun on a dark, dark night.Originally released in 1980, Funnybones has not aged a day. It is still just as brilliant as it ever was. Having spawned a television series the work made its way into popular culture.The opening and closing of Funnybones is particularly dramatic. The dark, dark location where everything happens imprints into the mind. When read in the same kind of voice as the television show it has particular effect. The phrasing could be a little bit scary for the most sensitive small people but it is exciting as well.The characters are simple and clear, the way an early listener's books should be. The Big Skeleton seems a pretty easy going guy, saying "good idea" all the time. The little skeleton is the one who wants to try things. The dog skeleton ends up being a bit clumsy.A couple of songs help the flow of the book. They're good fun and easy to sing along with.The artwork is really quite special. It has a childlike quality to it which attracts the target audience with its bold imagery and the clear contrasts of black and white.A great and somewhat quirky story for young book enthusiasts. It has been well received by those aged 2-5 and may well continue for a couple of years more.
