The fun begins with the endpapers to this sprightly, meandering,
waggish tale of three skeletons' night out - and it continues on
the title page, where the Ahlbergs' big skeleton, little skeleton,
and dog skeleton step up their comical cavorting. Inside,
black-as-night backgrounds combine with cheerful kindergarten style
and color as the skeletons set out rakishly to "walk the dog and
frighten somebody." They play in the park, romp with animal
skeletons at the zoo (the live animals are all asleep), and end up
frightening each other when they can't find anyone else to
frighten. The funniest sequence deals with the dog skeleton's
crashing himself to pieces and the other skeletons' cockeyed
attempts to reassemble him. ("Wofo! "Oofu!" "Owof!" "Foow!" goes
the mixed-up dog, as the hits and misses proceed.) Unfortunately,
this comes fairly early and so lends a downhill slope to what
follows. Still, there are some funny scares at the end, and much
jolly bone-rattling throughout. (Kirkus Reviews)
A big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton live in the dark cellar of a dark house on a dark hill. The skeletons venture out one night to find someone to scare, but everyone is in bed so they amuse themselves by scaring each other and playing with the skeleton animals in the zoo.
