Spooky, Scary Skeletons cover

Spooky, scary skeletons…will send shivers down your spine in this adorable sing-along board book based on the TikTok viral song by Andrew Gold (best known for writing The Golden Girls theme song, "Thank You for Being a Friend.")

Follow along as five little skeletons go trick-or-treating on Halloween night. But when they take their scares too far, can a skeleton dance save the day?

Andrew Gold released "Spooky, Scary Skeletons" in 1996. Since then, it has become a viral sensation, with over 9 billion views on both YouTube and TikTok... and counting! Now, fans of all ages can sing along to the complete lyrics, which have been paired with playful illustrations.

Spooky, scary skeletons
Speak with such a screech—
You'll SHAKE and SHUDDER in surprise
When you hear these zombies shriek.

An ideal read-aloud for Halloween or ANY time of year, this is sure to become a cherished part of family bookshelves for years to come.

"The illustrations loosely take inspiration from the lyrics and serve as the primary driver for the storytelling. They make excellent use of fall colors and exude a sunset glow that truly evokes Halloween." —Kirkus Reviews

"Lovsin’s vibrant, full-color illustrations in warm fall shades feel alive, as if each brushstroke dances along with the melody.... making it easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit. Grab a copy of this book to bring some musical magic and fun to holiday reading!" —School Library Journal
