Synopsis

This poetry collection opens poetry for children by fabulating both gruesomly, funnily and quietly.

What does a ghost's earwax taste like?

Where can you bowl with a skull?

Who invented the umbrella for spiders?

And what is the poem actually thinking about as you read it?

Bone Bowling is a quirky and fabulating poetry collection for children about all the weird and spooky things that are typically associated with Halloween.

Beautifully illustrated by Mette Marcussen and supported by the Danish Arts Foundation. 

Winner of the Danish Cultural Ministry's 2024 Children's Book Writer of the Year Award, and nominated for the Children's Book Illustrator of the Year Award.
