The Ahlbergs do it again! A big skeleton and a little skeleton and a dog skeleton go out to scare some people and talk all about the people they're gonna scare but then there's no one around so they scare each other. Great stuff, and also teaches kids that they can make their own fun (my son just found this lesson relevant when kindergym was cancelled!). ( )

Good for using repition and book talk.
Use for science and bones
Use for talking about light/darkness
Using adjectives instead of "dark" ( )

This story is about a big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton who live in a dark dark cellar. They go out one night to play at the park. Then, the dog skeleton falls off the swings and his bones get all mixed up. The big skeleton and the little skeleton have to put the dog skeleton back together again. Then they play in the city and with the skeleton animals at the zoo.

This book is about a big skeleton, a little skeleton, and a doggy skeleton who live in a dark cellar. They are laying in bed and the big skeleton sits up and asks what they should do and the little skeleton says that they should go out and scare somebody. They walk to the park and swing on the swings and the big skeleton throws a stick for the dog skeleton. The dog was running to catch the stick, ran in to a tree, and broke into pieces. The big and little skeleton try and put him back together. After a while, they successfully put the dog back together. They leave the park and on the way home they forgot that they wanted to scare someone, but nobody was awake. They decided they would scare eachother because it would be better than nothing. So all the way home they scare each other.
