Led by a dad with deep startup and academic chops, plus hands-on help from his daughters—this isn’t their first rodeo. The book is already published and has Amazon accolades, giving real proof this idea resonates. Production timelines are clear, and U.S. fulfillment is capped to control costs—solid planning all around.

Glow-in-the-dark skeleton? Check. Movable joints? Yes! Kid-approved illustrations? You bet. Bones stands a clever 10.31" tall and is made to play with, not just look at. A thoughtful twist on Elf on the Shelf—with way less parental pressure (and way more fun).

Thoughtful fulfillment strategy, fair refund/replacement policies, and low shipping fees show care for backers. Family-run, small-batch, and low-waste by design—this is charm over mass production. Limited edition model encourages early support without creating wasteful overstock.

At around $39–$45 for the full book and toy set, it’s priced right for a seasonal family tradition. You’re getting a durable toy, a 40-page hardcover book, and years of Halloween smiles—hard to beat. Add stretch goals like a prank guide and glow sticker, and the value grows.
