Meet Felipe Femur the skeleton. He lives in a closet where he has lots of fun. But there’s an awful feeling growing in his heart.
Like most skeletons in the closet, Felipe tends to stay hidden away. In other words, he’s usually a lone wolf, as his friend Gummy Garou likes to say. In his closet, Felipe loves to build things like forts and houses of cards. He also loves to solve puzzles, but sometimes he grows bored of these things. On occasion, he yearns for time with his friends. So he invites them over to pull up a coat hanger and hang out, or, as is the case here, he walks around Toonstone to find them. Being the health nut he is, Felipe loves to walk, and in doing so, he meets many new friends and old friends, too—ghosts, ghouls, banshees, and even a lagoon creature. Maybe someday, if you’re out and about, he’ll walk into you! Get ready to have your funny bone tickled in this happy little tale about friendship and a not-so-happy, introverted skeleton.
Excerpt
Felipe Femur was a skeleton.
He lived in a closet and built things all day.
Puzzles, forts and houses of cards—
he built them so big, they would teeter and sway.
He was good at what he did,
but he also grew bored,
for while these things kept him busy
poor poor Felipe wanted more.
So Felipe put on his poncho
and walked out the door.
He walked and he walked and he walked.
He walked until he found his old friend Gummy,
then seeing him, he asked,
“why do you look so crummy?”
“Oh Felipe,” replied Gummy.
“I can’t fill my tummy.
The dentist took my teeth,
now I can’t eat my meat.”
“I see,” said Felipe. “Why not eat bread instead?
It’s soft enough for even your gums to shred.”
“It does look yummy,” said Gummy, nodding his head.
