Funnybones: Bumps in the Night Award-winning author by Allan Ahlberg (author)

No matter where they are, the two skeletons keep going bump in the night. Clonk! There’s only one thing to do: send for Doctor Bones! This fantastic story combines quirky, surprising humour with a wonderfully atmospheric midnight setting, bringing alive the mystery and magic of the world in darkness. Repetitive language and plenty of rhythm make Allan Ahlberg’s humourous and spooky tale of a skeleton family a read-aloud classic.

Author/Illustrator

Allan Ahlberg

Allan has been delighting children of all ages for more than thirty years. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Innovative, funny and moving, his work encompasses storybooks, picture books, easy readers, joke books and novels as well as poems.

Many of his books were collaborations with his wife, Janet, an illustrator, and they quickly became one of Britain’s leading author/illustrator teams.

Influenced by comics and cartoons, their perfect partnership went on to produce masterpieces including Peepo!, Each Peach Pear Plum and The Baby’s Catalogue.

Janet sadly died in 1994, but Allan has gone on to work with other illustrators and is still producing lots of new books.
