"It's midnight!" shouted Skelly Sid. "But what do we all care? How can we think of sleeping when there's music in the air ... ?" Four silly skeletons dance off with a skip and a hop, and not one of them sees the GREAT BIG DROP! Luckily, Auntie June is there to patch them up. Even if they end up in a bit of a muddle. A rollicking, rhythmical story perfect to read aloud, made even more zany and hilarious by Sue Hendra's bright, bold illustrations. Just right for making kids jump - and then making them laugh.
