Bumps in the Night (Funnybones)

Product Information

I would not feel ok with teaching a book that is on the top 100 banned children's books in the classroom. Bumpy the Untrappable" — The Boy tries to trap Mr Bumpy but since bumpy is quick it will be tough to catch him. Bumpy is a small green, purple-warted monster living under the bed of a ten-year-old boy, where he eats dirty socks and dust bunnies as if they were delicacies. Gum Crazy" — Bumpy tries to retrieve undigested bubblegum from his own stomach, resulting in fights with his own heart and brain. Allan Ahlberg has published over 100 children's books and with his late wife Janet, created such award-winning children's picture books, including Peepo!

Other characters include Destructo, the boy's toy robot who sees himself as a cop and persecutes Mr. Over her father’s objections, she went so far as to move into the Galley home at the end the semester (in June). It does mention witchcraft and the characters hold a seance, but it's light hearted and the ghost turns out to be very friendly.Traditional horror like this, are like ghost stories from childhood, distressing, unrelenting, mordant, tingling sensation at the back one’s mind that produces not nightmares, per se, nevertheless one goes through a profoundly worried and apprehensive feeling that cannot go away. In my own scenarios, I have always used the Mythos whose effects can be felt but usually remain, off camera thus these scenarios of traditional horror help in creating that atmosphere.

Auntie Matta" — Bumpy's scary Aunt visits and she spends half her time scaring everyone and when his friends tell him about her actions bumpy must put an end to it by making her leave.

It is a book that was written for children five and up, I would guess, and the story being about a little stork whose house is haunted… This was banned, rather it was challenged for various supernatural issues, being anti- family, and having offensive language. Although, the adventures do contain a fair deal of gore, the true horror is usually more sinister and not in the least what even most seasoned investigators might expect. Made in Japan II" (sequel to "Made in Japan") — Little Robot e-mails herself to Squishy to escape destruction. The investigators are on vacation at the Grandview Lodge, a rustic hotel in Floyd Country, Virginia. At the seance the ghost is revealed and it turns out that he was just lonely and is actually very friendly.
