Bones Skeletons and How They Work

Caldecott Honor winner Steve Jenkins presents a fascinating look at the bones of the human body as compared to the bones of animals, and shows them off! This book is far from skinny—it’s the defi nitive nonfiction title about human and animal bones, delivered with in-your-face accuracy and intrigue. In this visually driven volume, kids come face-to-face with some head-to-toe bony comparisons, many of them shown actual size.
Here you’ll fi nd the differences between a man’s hand and that of a spider monkey; the great weight of an elephant’s leg, paired with the featherlight femur of a stork; and rib-tickling info about snakes and sloths. How many bones are in the whole human body?
