Description
Skeletons might seem frightening, but if you look closer, there's nothing much to fear. They can't run fast, they're terrible at hide-and-seek, and they're scared of everything. When a group of trick-or-treaters runs into an actual skeleton on an enchanted Halloween night, they do whatever they can to get away. But what does the skeleton really want? What if they're just looking for a friend?
With distinctive, quirky illustrations and humorous rhyming text, If You Ever Meet a Skeleton invites you to find out whether this bag of bones is a trick or a treat!
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
