(3) K-3 Illustrated by Will Terry. Skeleton Bonaparte, who's constantly losing his bony limbs, worries he'll be teased when school starts. His monster friends try keeping him together with spiderwebs and mummy wrappings but finally solve the problem more creatively--by teaching a dog to fetch his bones. Child versions of classic monsters (e.g., Franky Stein) combine with the mildly spooky atmosphere to make this school-jitters story a Halloween treat.
