Skeleton Crew 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!

'Zzz!' The three skeletons enjoy a holiday on-board their little boat. But one night - 'Yo-ho-ho' - the pirates come and put them out to sea on a tiny raft, launching them on an oceanful of new adventures.
