Out From Boneville

Before its time to start getting ready for bed me and Little Man have snuggle reading. We call it that for obvious reasons, we snuggle up somewhere and read.

I think it's important to introduce chapter books to children at a young age so they don't get overwhelmed by them when they are older. We read normal little kid books during the day and sometimes at night if we had gone to the library that day but normally we read chapter books.

Right now we are reading Bone Vol. 1 Out from Boneville, by Jeff SMith. I saw this book at Meijer and thought it looked cute so I got it for Little Man.

The story is about three cousins (who are made from bones) that get lost and separated from each other. They each end up in a forest with all these strange creatures. They spend most of the book looking for each other.

The pictures and the story are very cute and Little Man loves it!

 

 

There is even a game that goes along with the story line of the book that you can play online. It's free to try but if you want the full version you have to pay to register ($19.95)

 

Here is the link: Out FromBoneville

 

After we finish the book we may try the game out, I will post about it if we do!!


 

UPDATE:::   Well the Bone Book has come to an end :(  It was a cute graphic novel, but I feel like a lot of the humor was over Little Mans head most of the time. He enjoyed the pictures and the Rat Creatures. It is the first of a series but I'm not sure if we will get the rest of the series or not, I might just wait and see if Little Man asks what happens next because this book has one mighty cliff hanger!
