Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—A concise and appealing introduction to the internal framework of humans and various animals. Beginning with an explanation of the function and purpose of bones, the book continues with facts about bone growth, and the varieties of bones that are found in many different species. Students will especially enjoy the color illustrations of people and animals, featuring an overlay of their skeletons. Comparisons among human and other animal species' skeletons are fascinating. Those looking for more information about the anatomy and physiology of the human skeleton will benefit from such titles as Jody Sullivan Rake's The Human Skeleton (Capstone, 2009) and Louise Spilsbury's The Skeleton and Muscles (Heinemann, 2008).—Lauren M. Sinacore, George M. Davis Elementary School, New Rochelle, NY

Review

"A fascinating introduction to bones."—Kirkus Reviews
 
"The engaging and informative illustrations consist primarily of photos of people and animals overlaid with semitransparent drawings of skeletons, accompanied by explanatory captions . . . This inside-out approach is very effective in demonstrating how bones align, move, and work together. . . . This is a good introduction to a perennially fascinating subject"—Booklist

The story is engaging with great pictures. This goes along really well with teaching bones and safety in 3rd grade and comparing and contrasting our bones to animal bones.

I teach 4th grade, and this book goes perfectly with our FOSS "Human Body" Science Kit. It compares and contrasts human and animal skeletons in such a beautiful way. My class was so engaged with this read-aloud!
