What is Skelly, The Skeleton Girl about?

<p><P>Skelly, a little skeleton girl, finds a bone one day. Who could it belong to? As Skelly searches for the bone's owner, she questions everyone from her skeletal goldfish, to her man-eating plants, to the monster who lives beneath the stairs. Finally, Skelly locates the bone's owner&#151;and makes a new friend. Rising talent Jimmy Pickering has created a mildly spooky and totally original cast of characters who populate Skelly's Tim Burton-esque world.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p><P>Skelly, a pint-size Day of the Dead girl with pumpkin-orange bobbed hair, finds a misplaced bone and seeks its owner. Pickering's (<I>Bubble Trouble</I>) mixed-media illustrations picture Skelly in a black dress, white petticoat and buckle shoes, exposing an eerily wide cranium and delicately articulated hands. Readers see her arm bones, ribs and pelvis only when she X-rays herself: Could it be a bone from me? No, it wasn't mine. Skelly tickles the monster under the stairs to see whether he still had his funny bone. She questions tea-sipping ghosts and man-eating plants, and gets a quick entomology lesson (Simply put, we spiders don't have bones). In the end, a skeleton dog digging in her garden
