Bones Skeletons and How They Work by Steve Jenkins

Bones Skeletons and How They Work by Steve Jenkins

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-it's the definitive nonfiction title about human and animal bones, delivered with in-your-face accuracy and intrigue. In this visually driven volume, kids come face-to-face with some head-to-toe bony comparisons, many of them shown actual size. Here you'll find the differences between a man's hand and that of a spider monkey; the great weight of an elephant's leg, paired with the feather-light femur of a stork; and rib-tickling info about snakes and sloths. How many bones are in the whole human body?

Steve Jenkins is the author and illustrator of numerous nonfiction picture books, including the Caldecott Honor title What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? He resides in Colorado with his wife, Robin Page, a regular collaborator. Steve Jenkins' website is www.stevejenkinsbooks.com.
