Preview: Hear it

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 its the definitive nonfiction title about human and animal bones, delivered with inyourface accuracy and intrigue. In this visually driven volume, kids come facetoface with some headtotoe boney comparisons, many of them shown at actual size. Here youll find the differences between a mans hand and that of a spider monkey; the great weight of an elephants leg, paired with the featherlight femur of a stork; and ribtickling info about snakes and sloths. How many bones are in the whole human body?
