A lot fun and interesting to read.
Very funny
I liked that the skeletons kept bumping into each other. Then they fell asleep and bumped into each other in their dreams.
I thought this book was funny because the skeletons kept hurting themselves and needed the doctor.
I like seeing the dog painted different colours. I like to pretend to bump into mummy saying bump like the skeletons
