What is The Ghost Train about?

One dark, dark night, Big Skeleton, Little Skeleton and Dog Skeleton climb aboard a ghost train at a spooky station. The train rattles through the night, past ghostly drivers, monster ticket collectors and a mysterious seaside ghost town. The skeletons enjoy every frightening surprise and are not scared at all—until they meet something even more terrifying. With its lively repetition, playful chills and funny ending, this entertaining adventure is a classic Funnybones story for children beginning to read.
