Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting and informative! My kids love it!, August 29, 1999
By A Customer
This book details what the bones in your body look like and their functions. Colorful pictures are helpful and entertaining. This book also mentions a broken arm. Fun reading if your child is in a cast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, December 11, 2008
I bought this book at a Scholastic book fair my elementary school put on in the early 90s. The book remains one of my treasured favorites (16 years later). In fact, I found myself quoting it just the other day ("Without bones, you'd be floppy as a bean bag"). It's fun to read, extremely informative about what goes on inside your body, and it has information that sticks with you forever (I haven't read the book in over 10 years, but I still know that we have 206 bones thanks to it). I can't recommend it enough. I plan to buy it for my kids when I have some.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids loved it!, February 28, 2009
By Leslie S. (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
I love how this series of books gives lots of information in a format my kids have enjoyed reading over and over again. This one was a real favorite for all 4 of my kids. Better than learning about science in a dull textbook that's for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Roentgen is spinning in his grave
I'm not against science, but
While a very informative book for children, it really downplays the social and moral implications of radiology. Read more
