Everybody is in bed. They’ll just have to scare each other. But soon they find some others who want to play: the skeleton animals in the zoo!

Simply an amazing book for early readers. The repetitive use of words creates a bond with the story. Not to forget the funny angle, I must say the author has very tactfully wiped away the fear of dark or ghosts and has rather created funny picks along with humorous illustrations. The characters were witty and silly at the same time. A thumps up for this writeup.. Looking forward to read more from this series.

It’s very funny and I like the rhyme. But it’s more for 5 or 6 year olds:(
