About this book

There's a creepy night time school in the forest that you might not know about: Skeleton School! There are a haunted library and zombie chefs cooking beetle burgers for lunch, and all manner of zany happenings with Wizard Wilfred magicking frilly knickers onto Mr Bones. Yet, at the end of the school day, the children hear a truly terrifying noise: little boys and girls on their way to Human School!

Sam Lloyd's big, bright and funny Skeleton School is a different take on school-themed picture books for little ones that might just be starting in Reception or returning to Year 1, showing that everyone – even skeletons and monsters – goes to school.
