Book Description

Known across the land for his infamous appetite, Finnigin is never seen without his eating stool, his eating spoon, and his gigantic eating mouth.
When Finnigin finds himself in a new town on Halloween, he hopes to join a great feast with the creatures who live there. But not a body or soul will share any of their food with the ever-famished Finnigin. So what’s a hungry skeleton to do? Armed only with his wits and a special ingredient, will Finnigin be able to stir up a cauldron’s worth of Halloween magic?

When a traveling skeleton wanders into a new town during Halloween, he hopes to join all the goblins and ghouls who live there in a great feast, but warned by a witch, the creepy residents won’t share any of their food with Finnigin, frightened by his insatiable appetite. Can the creatures of the town resist the aroma of Finnigin’s soup, stirred by his magic bone and cauldron?

Written and illustrated by the talented Cambria Evans, Bone soup is sure to get everyone in the Halloween mood. The grim watercolor and quirky characters set this work apart, and the unique story really sets it at the top of the pile of Halloween books for children. A splash of scary, a dash of humor, and sprinkling of disgusting “foods”—dried mouse droppings, spider eggs, toenail clippings—ensure that Bone Soup has the the ingredients it needs to be served up as the perfect Halloween read.
