We're celebrating another day of bookish fun with Storybook Sunday! For those not up to speed on the post, I read a lot of great storybooks and thought, why not give them their own day in the sun. Hence, Storybook Sunday appears every now and then!
Today's selection is the PERFECT read to get you in the mood for the upcoming season. It's SPOOKY. It's SCARY. It's SILLY SKELETON RIDDLED FUN. It's perfect for all ages, and, whilst newly published, it'll still be familiar. Curious? Well then, let's dance into today's Halloween-esque ebook of choice...

Spooky, scary skeletons,
Send shivers down your spine;
Shrieking skulls will shock your souls,
Seal your doom tonight...
You've heard the song and you've probably caught yourself singing along to it a season or two. NO harm in that, although the lyrics can seem a little extra creepy when taken on their own and out of the musical context we're accustomed to, however, now you've got a new way to experience them with you and yours! That's right, it's a STORYBOOK version that encompasses the song with a slew of fabulously spooky illustrations that bring the lyrics to life. You get to see skeletons dancing around while little ones are getting ready for some Halloween fun. You get to experience their surprise and delight as they head out for their trick or treating adventures. You get to have the silly spooky fun of it all, while following the song from beginning to end.
A great pick for the season that will be a family (or classroom!) favorite reached for time and time again!
