Summary

Funnybones: The Pet Shop - A Bone-Tickling Tale!

“All he does is DIG holes - and BARK!”

“WOOF!” Barks the dog.

The Big Skeleton and The Little Skeleton are fed up with The Dog Skeleton and decide to swap him at the pet shop!

They start with a goldfish but quickly tire of him, swapping him for a parrot. But boredom soon sets in again…

Eventually, the pet shop owner gives them a box to take home with a surprise pet inside.

What do you think it will be?

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Not at all scary, these creatures are fully fleshed-out and slightly goofy-looking. Bright colors contrast sharply with a midnight black background, creating a cheerful mood. Cartoonlike layout, repetitive language, and situational humor make these a good choice for beginning readers.” –School Library Journal
