Halloween Week: Bone Soup book

BonesoupTo get in an appropriately spooky mood, we suggest you dig into Bone Soup, which tells the story of a friendly skeleton named Finnigin who goes hungry on Halloween. Kids will love the sweet story and you will love the clean illustrations, though expect some exclamations of "Ew, gross!" in regards to Finnigin's stew of eyeballs and toe nail clippings. But let's be honest, that concoction might be downright healthy compared to the mounds of sugar they'll be putting in their bellies come Friday.
