Bonaparte is a
skeleton who is having trouble keeping his bones attached. They break off and it causes him all sorts of
problems. His friends try to help him in
different ways-Frankenstein tries to glue his bones together, but then
Bonaparte can’t move; Blacky Widow tries to put a web around him to hold him
together, but then he sticks, etc. In
the end, his friends find him a dog who is really good at fetching bones, and
so the dog keeps track of Bonaparte’s missing bones for him.
The illustrations in this book are adorable. The friends who try to help Bonaparte are
cute and innovative, and the solution is creative. My only hang-up was the mummy idea would have
worked if they would have just uncovered his eyes. Overall, a cute Halloween read. If you need
more books for that holiday, this is a fun one.
