About this book
Another Funnybones adventure. This time, the skeleton friends go sledging - whee!
And crashing – bang! They can’t see their bones in the white snow but they can see a black cat . . . until she slips into their dark, dark cellar
Despite being set in a dark dark house, this brightly coloured book is perfect for early readers!
