Bookroo's summary

Join Ms. Frizzle and her class on a spine-tingling tour of the Hugh Mann Costume Company. As they explore each room, uncovering the secrets of bones, a mysterious skeleton seems to follow their every move. Is it a trick of the eye, or something more? Discover the wonders of the human skeleton, from growth to healing, while unraveling the mystery of their eerie companion. Will the class solve the puzzle, or will the skeleton remain an enigma? Dive into this educational adventure and find out!

From the publisher

The Skeleton Scare takes readers through the Hugh Mann Costume Company, where they’ll learn about a different bone in each room. As Ms. Frizzle and her class work their way through the factory, they keep seeing a strange skeleton. Yikes! Is it following them? Maybe, but it doesn’t stop the kids from learning all about skeletons: why we need them, what different bones are for, what makes bones grow, how bones get fixed after they’ve been broken, and lots of other facts about our skeletons.
