I picked this book up from the library to read with a little girl I work with who loves spooky things. It’s so nice to find books featuring monsters and such that aren’t necessarily Halloween-themed. This could be read during Halloween, but doesn’t actually have anything to do with the holiday outside of the adorable monster-ish characters. Nice book on friendship.
I can definitely see kids loving the hilarious illustrations of Bonaparte losing his bones during various activities. Such a fun and creative take on life as a skeleton.
Based on the title, I assumed the book would rhyme. I was a little disappointed that it didn’t, but it was still well-written with an interesting story.
There are some good lessons in this one such as accepting help when you need it, thinking outside the box, and not giving up.
Cute book overall.
