Carve out family time for this clever and humorous picture book about a skeleton who is falling to pieces that needs help pulling himself together. Bonaparte is having a tough time. It's hard for this young skeleton to just hang loose when he can't keep hold of himself. When he plays catch, his throwing arm literally takes a flyer. Eating lunch can be a real jaw-dropping occasion. How can he start school when he has so many screws loose? Luckily, Bonaparte hit the bone-anza when it came to his friends. Franky Stein, Black Widow, and Mummicula all have some boneheaded ideas to help pull him together. But will it be enough to boost his confidence and get him ready for the first day of school?
Love the book, the author and illustrator. Wanted a copy of it. Ordered this one listed in “good” condition. It arrived with stickers all over a dirty cover, title page chewed, wet and half gone. Book has been wetted and dried at some point. Worst of all, some creative child has sharpied angry eyebrows onto each and every face throughout the book. Kind of takes the enjoyment out of the book. This book shouldn’t have been sold at all, in this condition.
