Come and meet our four silly skeletons: Fred, Sid, Belle and Bill. They live in a crazy, but beautiful, purple house at the top of a very steep hill.

And guess who lives at the bottom of the hill where the ground is flat? Their dear sweet auntie June and her skellybones cat.

When the clock strikes midnight the fun begins … Auntie June suggest they take a light, but they say, no, the moon is big and bright. They dance the samba and the rhumba. But not one of them saw the great big drop! As they fall off the edge and tumble to the bottom, how will they discover whose bones belong to who?

The littlies will really enjoy this book. All in verse with crazy skeletons jumping out of every page. It’s hilarious and a little bit spooky but the kids will love it.
