About this listen

A young girl receives a fright when her father brings home a new Halloween decoration. As the story progresses, she learns more about the "monster" in the box and her own body, and comes to grips with her fears. An amusing story for Halloween, rendered in clever rhyme and beautifully illustrated by Dan Monroe.

The little girl is scared of the skeleton her daddy bought for Halloween decorations.
Her dad explains there's nothing to be afraid of, there's a skeleton inside all of us, keeping us upright and steady.

Finally here's a cheerful story where the rhymes actually work.

The narration is perfect and I love how the clever dad uses the opportunity to explain the function of and the reason why there are skeletons, Halloween or otherwise.

Cheerful Rhyming Story
