The Teeny-Tiny Woman

Give me my bone!       When a teeny-tiny woman finds a teeny-tiny bone in the teeny-tiny village churchyard, she takes it home to boil for her teeny-tiny supper. She never expects the bone will object. This old English ghost story, a silly and spooky tale retold and illustrated with singular wit by Paul Galdone, is spine-tingling, funny bone-tickling fun.       With hidden details to discover in the illustrations and a delightfully repetitive text, young children will enjoy joining in on this perfect read-aloud. Now part of the Folk Tale Classics series, with gold foil stamping on the cover, this one is sure to become a story time favorite at Halloween or any time!
