Bone Handbook

A parent might reach for this book when their child has devoured the main Bone series and is hungry for more. This is not another story but a richly illustrated companion guide, an encyclopedia for the world Jeff Smith created. It provides detailed profiles of beloved characters like the Bone cousins, Thorn, and Gran'ma Ben, alongside a bestiary of creatures from dragons to the Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures. It reinforces the series' core themes of friendship, courage, and the struggle between good and evil, but through a lens of deep curiosity and world exploration. Perfect for dedicated fans, it encourages rereading and a deeper appreciation for the intricate lore of the valley.
