This informational book explains how the skeleton is made of bones and how it works. It gives several comparisons of how our body uses bones and what bones need to stay healthy.

For me, this book is very useful to explain to smaller children the body's skeleton. I really liked how it uses comparisons and it has good pictures to explain in detail the purpose of many different bones.

As an extension, the children could look at a real skeleton and identify some of the bones. It would also be helpful if a doctor could visit and help the children identify the bones and also give some advice on bone health. Next, just like in the book, they could examine different things and find their skeletons. Finally they could draw a picture of themselves as a skeleton.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0064450872, Paperback)

Your skeleton helps you leap, somersault, and touch your toes -- without it, you would be as floppy as a beanbag! There are over 200 bones living and growing inside you that make up your skeleton. There are also ligaments and joints that hold your bones together, and cartilage in your bendable parts like your ears and your nose. Learn all about what a skeleton can do -- because this isn't some make-believe Halloween skeleton, this is the real skeleton inside you.
