Book Description

Publication Date: 4 Aug 2005 | Series: Funnybones

Give the Dog a Bone is one of the titles in Allan Ahlberg's iconic children's picture book series about skeletons, Funnybones. Despite being set in a dark dark house, this brightly coloured book is perfect for early readers!

The dog skeleton is falling apart - bits of him are dropping off - bone by bone! Who will pick up the pieces and put him back together again?

'By far our best writer for the young'- Daily Telegraph

Allan Ahlberg has published over 100 children's books and with his late wife Janet, created many award-winning children's picture books, including Peepo!, Each Peach Pear Plum and the Kate Greenaway Medal winning The Jolly Postman. Other titles in the Funnybones series include Funnybones, The Ghost Train, The Black Cat, The Pet Shop, Bumps in the Night, Dinosaur Dreams, Skeleton Crew, Mystery Tour and A Brilliant Bone Rattling Collection, all of which are available from Puffin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as his earlier work. 26 Feb 2008
By Chris
Format:Paperback
The original Funnybones is one of our daughters favourites however this story doesnt recapture the magic of the original.
There is a main story throughout much in the style of Funnybones (with the "dark dark" areas) and also a short poem on each page recapping the events which have occurred. The poems are fun as the child can read along with the rhyming words.

WARNING SPOILERS:
The story follows the dog's adventures as he meets other characters but accidentally looses some of his own bones! The skeletons save the day!

Buy it if you have the others and they are well received but dont start with this one, get the original ones instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Bones give a dog a bone 16 May 2012
By Lisa
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son loves the funny bones collection. This book was in very good condition when it arrived. My son is very pleased with the book. It makes an interesting bed time story book and the fact there are speech bubbles means we get to act out the story together. Very good fun and helps to spark an interest in reading!
