Skelly, a little skeleton girl, finds a bone one day. Who could it belong to? As Skelly searches for the bone's owner, she questions everyone from her skeletal goldfish, to her man-eating plants, to the monster who lives beneath the stairs. Finally, Skelly locates the bone's owner--and makes a new friend. Rising talent Jimmy Pickering has created a mildly spooky and totally original cast of characters who populate Skelly's Tim Burton-esque world.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Skelly is STUNNING!!!,
This review is from: Skelly the Skeleton Girl (Hardcover)
I recommend "Skelly the Skeleton Girl" for anyone, of any age who enjoys a well-crafted children's book. The artwork is STUNNING and garners a five star review on its own! I strongly disagree with the previous review saying the story was lacking. This book may be perceived as a book about Halloween, but it is not. Maybe since the main character is a skeleton girl, it is expected to be a Halloween tale, however, it is not. The story is a mystery of a found bone in the home of Skelly, done very cleverly not only in verse, but in highly detailed illustrations as well. I ordered the book for my son and he loves it. He has read it over and over, as well as having every available adult in our home, (visitors included), read it to him. He almost has the whole book memorized and seems to find something new in the illustrations every time he opens the book. I highly recommend this for anyone is looking for a high quality, beautiful children's book.

Good Book,
By BK Chapman "Kids love Books" (Little Rock, AR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Skelly the Skeleton Girl (Hardcover)
My four year old likes this book because he loves spooky, quirky books! The illustrations are awesome. The only negative is that it does not have enough text. If you are looking for one line per page - this book is perfect.
A similar type book that is awesome - with more text - is called Mucumber McGee and the Half-Eaten Hotdog. My little boy loves that book!
5.0 out of 5 stars
