This twenty-sixth book in the fantastic It's True! series takes a squiz at skeletons large and small - what bones are for, how they grow and repair themselves, what happens to them when we die.
Pssst! It's true! This is the best book on bones you'll ever read!
Did you know that bones are stronger than concrete? Have you hear of weaver's bottom and housemaid's knee? Bone up on joints and X-rays. Discover how scientists find murder clues in bony remains, why astronauts might get osteoporosis and why you should take up weightlifting and sardine salads (yum). Dig up the hard facts on skulls and skeletons.
