«Funnybones» is the children's book by Allan Ahlberg and Janet Ahlberg, published by Puffin in paperback (32 pages, in English).
Three skeletons —an adult, a child, and a dog— go for a walk at night through a dark city. During the walk, the dog falls apart and his friends try to put him back together with hilarious results; then they encounter other animal skeletons. The story combines humour, repetition, and rhyme, with night-time illustrations by Janet Ahlberg.
Tale from the Funnybones series; the work was originally published in 1980 and this Puffin edition is from 2007. Recommended reading for ages 3 to 7. Winner in 1988 of the Zilveren Penseel and the Vlag en Wimpel Griffeljury.
Recommended for children aged 3 to 7, especially as a first shared read or for reading aloud before bedtime.
Janet Ahlberg and Allan Ahlberg were a British married couple who created many children's books, including picture books that regularly appear at the top of "most popular" lists for public libraries. They worked together for 20 years until Janet's death from cancer in 1994. He wrote the books and she illustrated many of them. Allan also wrote dozens of books with other illustrators.
