Skelly, a little skeleton girl, is missing her buttons. Her dog, Femur, is missing his bone. All of her friends are missing something. Why have so many things gone missing in Skelly Manor? The answer will be a delicious surprise for everyone.
In this follow-up to Skelly the Skeleton Girl, the cadaverous “Skelly,” who sports prominent eyelashes and a decorative bat in her orange hair, and her dog, Femur, are alarmed when their possessions go missing, including the buttons from Skelly's dress, Femur's bone and items belonging to the other residents of Skelly's mansion. “My umbrella is missing. Now I must stay indoors,” declares a cranky coffin dweller with bat-shaped glasses. The duo is “stumped,” until a noise in the attic leads them to the answer. The story itself jump-cuts rapidly between spooky locations, but Pickering's gothic-cute illustrations exude personality. Ages 4–7. (Aug.)

Skelly and Femur
This is an entertaining book that has a lot of the charm of The Nightmare Before Christmas, without being scary at all. The illustrations and story are probably more appropriate for older children who can appreciate the irony of the story, but the narrative is a bit short and feels like a book for young children. Despite this apparent conflict, it's a fun story to read aloud and we enjoyed reading it together. It's not specifically about Halloween, but it's a perfect time of year to read this book.
I didn't notice at first that the author is Jimmy Pickering, but we recognized the illustrations from the Araminta Spookie series. We loved the creepy, yet adorable characters and will look for more of his books at our local library.
