Your Skeleton Is Showing: Rhymes of Blunder from Six Feet Under

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Crab Scrambly. A child helps a lost ghost dog in a graveyard "ventur[e] through the gloom / to try to find his master's tomb." As the twosome passes headstones, readers learn about each grave-dweller's demise. Black-and-white gothic-style illustrations, enhanced by pops of color and buoyed by characters' cartoonish features, complement the dead-on pacing, tone, and content of these ghoulish yet funny rhyming poems.
