Funnybones: Mystery Tour

Funnybones: Mystery Tour

Summary

Mystery Tour 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!

One dark dark night the three skeletons go driving and solve six mysteries. Lots of things look and sound mysterious in the dark but the last mystery is the most important of all - if they don't solve it, they can't go home!
