‘The Lost Dog and Bone is the first of the Amazing Adventures of Scary Bones the Skeleton and the first of Mulberry’s Magical Stories for Children Series.Scary Bones is a delightful character who lives in a box beneath the bottom-most stairs. As he tells Sasha and Ben, the two children who find, name and befriend him, his ‘old brain box is quite empty!’ He is indeed quite brainless. But he is not as brainless as he appears and is by far the bravest of all skeletons, a skeleton super-hero. And he changes colour too. When he is happy, he turns a lovely golden colour. When he is sad, he becomes grey. And when he needs to frighten big bad adults, he becomes a shining scary silver.In
all of
his adventures Scary Bones is accompanied by a magical and
rather strange piece of red string, which is no less brave than Scary
Bones
himself, and indeed rescues and saves him and the children in many
scary situations.
In this adventure Sasha, Ben, Scary Bones and the Red String set out to find one of Scary Bones’ bones that has been lost and to rescue the town’s dog population that has been dognapped by the notorious dognappers Snatchett and Grabbett. Along the way they also meet Mrs. Grumble who is ‘always complaining' and her aptly named little dog, Grouchey. Each book comes with a mysterious sealed envelope which must not be opened until the very end of the story. The story is illustrated by Sue Burleigh’s charmingly funny and intricate line drawings. |
