Bones: A Halloween Book for Kids

by Stephen Krensky

How many bones are there in the human body? Which bone is the longest? Or the smallest? Without bones, you would be a blob, like a jellyfish or a worm. Our bones support us and protect our insides. They work together with our muscles to allow us to do all the things we do! So when you think of your bones, say "Thank you!"

This simple Step 2 introduction teaches young readers these facts and many more about the skeleton inside each of us!

Miss 7 read. Considers both the human skeleton and bones in a wider context.

Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

This is a great book to use while teaching children about their bodies. It has fun facts along with important information. It allows children to make connections to stuff they already know while relating to real life. It shows everyone's bones!: humans, dinosaurs, goldfish, etc. and explains what is used for what.

It teaches about bones and how our joints work and it also taught us about our ribcage and it also taught us about our whole skeleton.

Bones, bones, and more bones. Interesting look at the things that help us and many other animals move.
