Bones for Youngsters - (a review of The Bones You Own),
This review is from: ZigZag: The Bones You Own (Hardcover)
"The Bones You Own" comes to us from National Geographic Kids. It's a bright, colorful book with page backgrounds in a rainbow of colors, and with all sorts of interesting images presented at interesting angles. Written at the 3rd Grade level (AR is a generic "3") the book gives early elementary school aged children an idea of the function of bones and the diversity of their shapes and sizes.There are no chapters nor table of contents but here's some of what is covered: What bones do (protect and support) Where they are (arms, legs, chest, head) Joints Breaks... and repairs Marrow and blood production Size (stapes versus thigh bone) Soft versus Hard (babies to adult; cartilage to bone) The last two pages have some great questions for kids, such as "What do you think a whale's bones look like?" And "Most bones are in your hands and feet. Can you think why?" Overall, I think it would make a good addition to a classroom and elementary school library. Too limited though for long-term home use unless you have a large family. Talking Points ::: o Colorful, kid-friendly book with bright pictures in a lively format. o It's a simple introduction suitable even for the 5 to 8 crowd. o Accelerated Reading Level: 3 (generic) Pam T~ mom and reviewer at BooksForKids-reviews |
