Bone by Bone: Comparing Animal Skeletons

32 pp. | Millbrook | October, 2013 | Library ISBN 978-0-7613-8464-9 $26.60
(3) K-3 Illustrated by T. S. Spookytooth. This unusual comparison of human and animal skeletons and the functions for which they've adapted begins by positing an existence without any bones: "It wouldn't be pretty." Readers are asked to guess what animal they'd be if various bones were missing or elongated or super-strong. Playful illustrations contain carefully rendered bone details. A great way to introduce skeletal systems. Reading list, websites. Glos.
