Evans' books never disappoint and this sweet story is no exception. The humor using skeletons as the Skullington Family had me laughing out loud as I read the book. There is a great lesson about helping out and everyone pitching in for chores. We used to always say in our family, "Many hands make little work." A Very cute story that you will enjoy reading with your children. Who doesn't love a fun read at bedtime?" </em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Gale Leach, Award-winning author and founder of Two Cats Press</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>"Have you wished for a fun way to get children to help around the house? Wish granted! The Skullingtons are not the typical family (they are skeletons!), but when it comes to doing chores around the house, they're no different at all. Mrs. Skullington is tired of tackling the household tasks all alone, until she finds a way to get her family involved, one chore at a time. This adorable and fun picture book shares great lessons in such a good way. My grandson asked to read it twice, and his mom was thrilled!"</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><em>C.M. Huddleston - Literary Blogger: Monday Morning Indie and Writing History Through Fiction</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>M.J. Evans created the Skullingtons as a normal family--father, mother, two daughters and a son--with one exception. They are skeletons! Written and illustrated with young children in mind, Evans brings us a story that places each member of her book's family into a typical role. And that's where the problem arises! The poor mother works so hard taking care of her family, she has no time for her artistic side - being a skullptor. Children's book authors often have a lesson, a reason, a principal to convey. Evans' "The Skullington Family Boney Fingers" guides children toward recognizing the importance of chores and learning at a young age to accept responsibility for helping around the house. The delightful and original illustrations hold the child's interest in a common story full of puns and humor. As a former elementary teacher, a mother, and a children's author, I highly recommend this book to parents, grandparents, and teachers.</em></strong></p><br>
