Get your kids to replace their digital universe with the Bone universe
I bought this used on the cheap because this particular installment was checked out from our local library and I could not wait in line for it to be returned. Great series for kids in the upper elementary and Jr. High range...but, really, I purchased it for myself, shhh, don't tell. The story line is just too well done, the characters fleshed out so nicely, and the humor is enjoyable. All this gives the entire Bone universe such a warm, exciting feel. I ended up purchasing the library binding of the entire set because after reading them all, I concluded our family can get so much out of multiple readings. My son is five and loves to have me explain the pictures to him. We are going to try play acting bits of the story together. A great alternative to electronic media, these books will wake up your kid's mind and revive your own stagnating adult imagination. What better way to transition children from hyper visual electronics to reading than combining the action-packed artwork of Jeff Smith with his epic writing. It's Lord of the Rings for kiddies.

I'm glad I had a kid or I'd have never gotten into this series
I remember seeing this on the shelf of the comic book store I'd frequent in my twenties. Shoot it was probably at Borders when I worked there my college sophomore year. A decade later, looking for appropriate, gripping stories for my nine year old a very helpful man at "All in a dream" (which according to Yelp reviews I must have been appropriately respectful of his collection) proffered this series.I had thought "Bone" was some Disney crap storm along the lines of "Kingdom Hearts" (excuse me I'd rather play the quintesential RPG - Final Fantasy).Back to "Bone." Classic character types and good tension. Of course it is about good vs. evil. But what story isn't. There's thwarted romance, hidden lineage. You know the good parts from fairy tales and dramas.If only my son would read them faster. I'm glad he does read them though. He loves the series and the books serve as an excellent reward for focusing in school and helping around the house.

you feel as though you are a part of the action and have to follow them to the end as they meet more fantastic characters. Every person
Once you start reading about the Bone cousins and their troubles, you feel as though you are a part of the action and have to follow them to the end as they meet more fantastic characters. Every person, animal, and creature adds to the adventure of the Bone cousins as they try to make a new life for themselves and uncover secrets about other characters past which will impact their future. The book act is vibrant with lots of details to the characters (human and other) as well as they scenery around them.

We love Bone!
My son LOVES Bone books! He gets one for every special occasion, and can't get enough. It's a little above his reading level now, so we read them together, and I get into them too!

My 9 year old loves the series. Written in ...
My 9 year old loves the series. Written in a comic form, he devoured these books within a week. I kept having to buy the next one and then we donated them to his teacher's library so his friends could read. Bones is a creature who lives with his cousins and goes on adventures with his cousins. My son couldn't put them down.

love it!
i first read the entire bone series when i was in elementary school and i loved it. i remembered it recently, decided to read the series all over again and still enjoyed it a lot.it's a great american comic book series. it has a more mature side to it, of course, but i was able to handle it at a fairly young age (10-11 yrs old at the time). the general plot and characters are great; i love phoney bone. also love jeff smith's unique art style :)

Absolutely hilarious with great characters, an amazing amount of movement in the illustrations too when there is action
Absolutely hilarious with great characters, an amazing amount of movement in the illustrations too when there is action.Best to start with the first one, Out From Boneville, to really get the most out of this one, the third. Skip the 2nd one, the Cow Race, as it is a let-down and adds very little to the ongoing plot. By the 3rd one, it is clear that this is one of the truly great graphic novels, and with loads of laughs too, which you can hardly say about other brilliant graphic novels like Maus, Jimmy Corrigan, The Sandman series, Fun Home, Watchmen or Batman - The Dark Knight.
